Microsoft's on tap to talk up XP Embedded Service Pack 2, CE 5.0 and its 'Laguna' mobile database next week. Microsoft's embedded operating system platforms are set to take center stage next week at the company's Embedded Windows Developers Conference (a k a Embedded DevCon) in San Diego.
Microsoft offers two different embedded Windows flavors: Windows XP and Windows CE. Windows XP Embedded, a subset of Windows XP, is typically integrated into retail point-of-sale terminals, thin clients and advanced set-top boxes. Windows CE is a real-time embedded operating system typically used in small-footprint devices.
