Windows Embedded is a general purpose OS, based on the Windows codebase, that is highly modular and fine tuned to run on a number of devices ranging in size and complexity (but less powerful and kess general purpose in nature than your average PC) that are x86/x64 powered (casino gaming consoles, retail kiosks, hand-held devices, etc). The next version of Windows Embedded will arrive some time in 2011 - thus the name Windows Embedded 2011. We figured it would be a good idea to meet some of the developers who write Windows Embedded to get a better understanding of, well, exactly what it is and where it is going. Here, we meet and chat with Windows Embedded developers Oren Winter, Jon Parati, Mike Moini and Milong Sabandith. What are the key new features in Windows Embedded 2011? What is Windows Embedded, exactly? What's Windows CE, again? How is Windows Embedded related to Windows proper? Windows Embedded 2011 is built from the same sources that makes up Windows 7? What's different... - Jeff Sandquist
