EDNUG Announcements: Microsoft unveils Windows Embedded Standard 2008 launch plans

Title

 Microsoft unveils Windows Embedded Standard 2008 launch plans 

Body
Microsoft will launch a downloadable "customer technology preview" of a next-generation embedded OS on Jun. 2, it announced. Formerly known as Windows XP Embedded, Windows Embedded Standard 2008 boasts updated Internet Explorer and RDP (remote desktop protocol) packages, among other touted improvements, Microsoft said.

Microsoft officials announced last month that the new operating system release, still based on Windows XP underpinnings, would be dubbed Windows Embedded Standard 2008, and scheduled for broad availability this fall. The product adds "the most-requested Vista technologies," such as a new version of Internet Explorer, a revised RDP (remote desktop protocol), a new media player, and an updated .NET Framework, according to the Redmond giant.
