Isnt that what windows embedded is? stripped out lightweight windows?
- whalesalad 5y agoIt's hard to say. MS changes the strategy all the time and there are so many SKUs it is hard to follow, at least for an outsider such as myself. I know there is a long-term release version that tends to recieve fewer updates and is considered more of an LTS/Stable release - but I think that there are also artificial limitations on this too as far as what it is capable of and how you can get a hold of it.
- vladvasiliu 5y agoI haven't noticed any particular limitations, but my understanding is that it's not very straightforward to get by "official" means. At work, another team is in charge of point of sale and other similar devices running Windows IOT or whatever it's called now, and apparently licensing is completely different from the "regular" desktop and server installs.
- zeusk 5y agoNo it isn't, before around 2015 WinCE (Embedded) was a completely different codebase. Now, Windows is made up of "layers" - Onecore, OnecoreUAP, ClientCore etc. Desktop, Embedded, Server, Xbox are just one of these layers now.
