Taipei, Taiwan, Feb. 18, 2008—Korenix is pleased to announce that JetBox 8100 Industrial Communication Computer is now able to offer the Microsoft Windows XP Embedded Operating System.

What is Windows XP Embedded?

Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 2 (SP2) is the operating system and development platform delivering the power of the Windows operating system in componentized form to rapidly build reliable and advanced embedded devices.

Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded helps bring the stability, security, and the rich feature set of Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional to embedded devices. Windows-based applications can run on Windows XP Embedded, however, there are differences between Windows XP Embedded and Windows XP Professional.

Windows XP Embedded provides solutions to support embedded scenarios, including point-of-sale devices, Windows-based terminals, and kiosks. It's easy to build fixed-function devices, and to reduce the footprint of a target run-time image. You can use Windows XP Embedded to build a run-time image that includes only the Windows components that your device requires. As long as you include the required dependencies in your run-time image, you can maintain the application compatibility that you need to run your applications.

Componentization also makes it easier to reduce security risks by designing run-time operating systems with limited surface area. The smaller the footprint of your run-time image, the smaller the surface area of the operating system. Less surface area means less risk of intrusion. For example, if you do not require networking capabilities, you can exclude networking components from your run-time image.
