Talking Points:
Windows XP Embedded:
Since it’s introduction in 2001, Windows XP Embedded has gained great momentum across a broad range of device classes, including Retail, Enterprise (Thin Clients), ATMs and Kiosks, and much more. Customers are taking advantage of the componentized nature of the OS to put rich desktop technology into customized embedded devices. In 2002 our Service Pack 1 release added some key deployment enhancements, including Remote Boot, which enables an XP Embedded-based device ping a server on the network when it’s powered on, signaling to the server that it is ready to receive it’s OS image, and that image will stream down to the device. This reduces hardware and deployment costs. We also added Device Update Agent, which enables easier updates to devices already deployed. We also provide over 20 total language packs that make it easy to localize a solution into various languages. We’ve also included some of the key updates that the Windows XP Pro team delivered in their SP, including support for USB 2.0 and IPv6, support for the .NET Framework, and much more. Looking further out, the next major release will be Longhorn Embedded. Just like Windows XP Embedded, we will stay in-line with the core Windows development effort and make sure all the latest Windows technologies are componentized and made available to embedded OEMs.
Windows CE.NET:
On the Windows CE .NET side, we released an updated version, 4.1, last July. Version 4.1 included a few highly requested features, including IPv6, and some document viewers for Office and Acrobat documents. The viewers cover Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files in addition to PDF files. We’ve also made some performance improvements across IE, various networking scenarios, etc. There is a minor update to Windows CE .NET version 4.1 coming, which is due in the first half of Previously code-named “McKendric”, version 4.2 provides a number of enhancements.
First, for those of you who build Pocket PC’s using the platform provided by our MDPG group, this release provides a consistent API set between CE .NET 4.2 and PPC 2003.
We are also adding support and optimizations for 2 popular device categories- Residential Gateways and VoIP Phones
The final released version of the .NET Compact Framework comes on line in this release, bringing the benefits of managed code and XML web services to smart devices
We also update some key features, such as Internet Explorer, to the latest versions to provide the best possible user experience
Looking further out, “Macallan” is the code name for the next major release of Windows CE .NET
Visual Studio.NET:
Across each of these platforms is a powerful and consistent set of application development tools called Visual Studio.NET- it’s here on this slide to show you the application development story that fits so well with the Windows Embedded Family. Visual Studio.NET enables you to use the same familiar and consistent set of tools to develop applications for embedded devices the same way you do for the desktop. Visual Studio.NET 2003 includes the final RTM bits of the .NET Compact Framework, and also includes Smart Device Programmability, enabling you to execute secure, downloadable applications on devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, and set-top boxes.

MSR University Relations Manager assesses academic interest in source code.
If academic institution is interested in access to embedded source code (CE or XPE), they must submit a proposal. The proposal template is located here: \\tkbedeapgfs01\public\Academic\ADE INFO\EXAMPLE PROPOSALS\MS Research Proposal Template.doc
Each proposal must be approved by MSR University Relations manager and EAPG Source/Academic managers (Jeana Jorgensen or Jason Demeny).
Once proposal is approved:
Finalize signatures with university representative (i.e. research lead, department chair, etc.).
Send signed copies to David Ladd (MSR) for Microsoft signature sign-off.
MSR will forward signed copies to Embedded and Appliance Platforms Group (EAPG) who will release source code.
Source will be deployed via Code Center Premium (CCP) only – will accompany smartcards and readers.
PLEASE NOTE: No support will be offered from the product/dev team unless there is an unusual circumstance (escalation must go through and must not be presented to the development team directly).
