Windows® XP Professional

Windows® Embedded Standard 2009
Windows® Embedded Standard 2009 is the modular version of Windows® XP Professional. It is used if XP applications require a smaller operating system size to run. Together with CompactFlash memory, Windows® Embedded Standard 2009 makes it possible to use the Microsoft desktop operating system in rough environmental conditions. In addition to the familiar features included in Windows® XP Professional, Windows® Embedded Standard 2009 has been improved with regard to dependability by adding a write filter for individual memory partitions. By protecting individual partitions such as the boot partition, the PC system can be started without any problems, even after an unexpected power failure. B&R offers complete images for industrial PCs, Power Panel and Mobile Panel devices to make the transition to Windows® Embedded Standard 2009 as easy as possible. In addition to the standard Windows® XP Professional operating system, Windows® Embedded Standard 2009 is also available in English, German and multilanguage.
