This is a really interesting news, especially for what concerns Windows Embedded Standard…
During his Keynote at ESC Boston, Kevin Dallas, General Manager for the Windows Embedded Business group, announced that the next version of Windows Embedded Standard will be based on Windows 7!

You now certainly know about Windows Embedded Standard 2009, the latest version of Windows XP Embedded (if not, learn more here). Only a little part of Windows 7 features where unveiled, but the simple fact that Windows Embedded Standard vNext, a.k.a. “Quebec” will be based on Windows 7 is a fantastic news: the Embedded OEMs will be able to leverage the latest desktop technologies on their Windows Embedded Standard devices!

So there was a session presenting Windows Embedded Standard “Quebec” at PDC and we had a nice booth over there (see picture aside). Bet that I will tell you more about his shortly! stay tuned!
