Hoping to whet the appetite of developers specializing in mobile and embedded devices, Microsoft on Monday made available a free technology preview of Windows XP Embedded containing Service Pack 2 that it expects to deliver by year's end. Using the client version of Windows XP SP2 as a guide, Microsoft is beefing up the embeddable version with improved default security and networking capabilities. At least as important however, according to company executives, are the improved management features of the product something high on the wish lists of its corporate users.
