Windows® Embedded Standard 2009 vs. XP Professional

Microsoft Windows® Embedded Standard 2009 is a componentized version of the Microsoft Windows® XP Professional operating system that brings the rich feature set of Windows® XP Professional to embedded devices. However, there are some differences between Windows® XP Professional and Windows® Embedded Standard 2009.

The major difference is, Windows® Embedded Standard 2009 is engineered specifically to support embedded devices and their manufacturers. Windows® XP Professional has features that Windows® Embedded Standard does not include and vice versa. Windows-based applications can run on Windows® Embedded Standard, and embedded application developers can use the Windows API set to write applications, just like Windows® XP Professional developers do.
