When operating system footprint is not an
issue—and you have a device that requires
the full power of a Microsoft Operating
System— Windows Embedded Enterprise Systems
provide the full power and functionality of
the Windows OS, as well as a familiar
development environment. Below is a list of
tools and features, including links to
additional sources of technical information.

New application programming interfaces
available for developing with Windows 7 for Embedded
Systems include.NET Framework Version 4.0, which
consists of a class library and Common Language Runtime
and includes major enhancements such as:
-
Provides a unified framework for
building applications and high-fidelity experiences that
blend together application UI, documents, and media
content, while exploiting the full power of the
computer. This user interface subsystem and framework is
based on vector graphics, which makes use of 3D computer
graphics hardware and Direct3D technologies. It is the
successor to Windows Forms. Version 4.0 adds support for
Multi Touch and other new controls of Windows 7, such as
the Ribbon bar for Applications.
-
The .NET Framework 4 introduces a new
programming model for writing multithreaded and
asynchronous code that greatly simplifies the work of
application and library developers. The new model
enables developers to write efficient, fine-grained, and
scalable parallel code in a natural idiom without having
to work directly with threads or the thread pool. The
new Parallel and Task classes and other related types
support this new model. Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), which is
a parallel implementation of LINQ to Objects, enables
similar functionality through declarative syntax.
VHD Mode
- Built into Windows 7 Ultimate for Embedded
Systems is support for VHD boot that allows OEMs to
easily deploy new complete OS+Application Images to
their devices
Virtual XP Mode
- The Virtual Windows XP mode enables OEMs to run
legacy application inside a virtual XP environment,
making use of the latest hardware technologies
without rewriting existing and certified
applications
Integrate an array of security features.
Security features supported for devices powered by Windows 7
for Embedded Systems include:
- Improved Windows Firewall
(inbound and outbound protection)
-
Browser security and privacy protection with
Internet Explorer 8
-
Windows Defender to block, control, and remove
spyware and other potentially unwanted software
-
Data encryption at the disk, directory, or file
level, including removable drives such as USB sticks
and hard drives (BitLocker Drive Encryption is only
available for Windows 7 Ultimate Edition)
-
AppLocker and the User Access Control (UAC) protect
devices from unwanted application execution
-
ActionCenter is a central location for all system
messages relevant for the user of a device
