        Isn’t Windows Embedded for thin clients and other types of devices?

        Can you even install it on a regular computer?

        I remember a couple of years ago when I had a thin client in my office that I worked on, it had XP on it and it was pretty basic.

        If you can install it on a regular computer, what kind of benefits would there be over the regular Windows 7 which Embedded 2011 Standard seems to be based on?

        We are talking about using it on a regular computer right?

            That’s also what I thought, but it turns out that it is a Windows version that is fully customizable! I think this is the Windows we could all dream of: every Windows component can be chosen whether you want it to be installed or not! 🙂

            Here are screens I took from the installation (not in order, will fix that later; have an appointment now): http://img209.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=windowsembedded2011ctp2.png

            You should try it in a Virtual Machine too! :geek:

                Whoah…….That looks pretty awesome Arris, Ok I’m officially convinced that you can use it as a regular OS.

                Well it really sounds like a dream to configure everything the way you like it and want it, pretty much what I do everytime I install an OS afterwards.

                As the Microsoft :geek: I am I’m probably pretty soon will get the itch to try this out, I can feel it…not long now…

                    Once again, Microsoft can never get their facts straight when I ask them a question. 😉

                    1) Can you install WES on a laptop, in a dual-boot configuration?

                    2) Can you install WES in Microsoft Virtual PC?

                    I had asked them this before because Windows Embedded Standard caught my eye. I wasn’t going to download it if I couldn’t use it in VMWare or anything, but if you say it works, then I’m definetely going to try it! 🙂

                        That’s for sure! We chose Windows Server because it is a very tiny and clean Windows version by default, and people can add the features needed themselves. With Windows Embedded it is possible to start with almost nothing and choose all features you want during the setup.

                                  If you don’t use BitLocker/EFS you can also remove

                                  • Bitlocker Secure Startup
                                  • Encrypted File System (EFS)

                                  You can’t get it much smaller without losing essential parts I think.

                                  This afternoon I also cooked some Windows Embedded which started up, but for some reason the Task Manager was missing, and also gadgets that view the CPU/Memory usage didn’t work so I think I did remove too much! 😆

                                      Hi!

                                      WinEmbedded 2011 is highly interesting, I tried CTP2 on a VirtualPC and it is really just Windows 7 build 7600 with custom made installation. Are there any other limits – in the virtual machine I could only choose from a limited set of screen resolutions, but I suspect that is due to the “graphics card” that the virtual machine uses.

                                      I have a new machine coming in that needs an OS and I am strongly considering using the CTP2. Aviv00, does your config work ok?

                                            That’s nice, hope to see it released soon! 🙂 In the meantime I created an expandable treeview of all Windows Embedded Standard 2011 CTP2 components which we can update later to the list of RC/RTM components, including descriptions of what the various are actually needed for. Maybe it’s an idea to make it editable so the explanations for the different components, but that’s for later.

                                                  i have been tired to install the package from
                                                  WES 2011 of superfetch
                                                  and its got installed but its not working

                                                  i check the services.msc its wasnt there
                                                  u have any idea ?
                                                  how its could be solved ?

                                                  I installed the RC with some configuration (don’t remember which features I checked) and it works fine: screenshot.

                                                  Reinstall it and try to find out which features you need to install! I might take a look at it again this weekend.
