Microsoft on Wednesday debuted a new version of its customizable operating system for embedded applications -- but perhaps a little surprisingly, it's not based on Windows Vista.
Instead, Windows Embedded Standard 2009, as it's called, is based on Windows XP Service Pack 3, which was released earlier this spring.
The announcement came at the company's annual North American Tech-Ed developers conference in Orlando, Fla., during a keynote speech by Kevin Dallas, general manager of the Windows Embedded Business Unit.
