Default Why do you still use Windows XP?
In article , says...

I am not sure if there is enough demand for Windows Embedded anyway?
Since the appearance of netbooks, tablets, and such... it seems to make
more sense just running the stock Windows anyway, don't you think?


Windows Embedded isn't intended for those types of devices - in fact,
the licensing agreement specifically prohibits using Windows Embedded
in a "general computing device". And given the cost (last time I
checked it was $80 per license, probably more now) there isn't much
incentive to use Windows Embedded over an OEM license anyway. Yet more
evidence Microsoft doesn't get it with respect to embedded platforms.
