I once tried to buy 2 Windows embedded licenses for a prototype. All the official resellers in my country couldn’t even connect me with a person who could give me a quote, without first getting a certification, finishing courses, signing contracts, etc.
We rewrote our application on Linux then, it was much easier than dealing with MS licensing BS.
- ficklepickle 4y agoI'm always amazed when I see the various embedded contexts I find windows out in the wild. Usually when they are glitching out and displaying a start menu or something. I guess they are operating at a scale where the licensing hell isn't a major roadblock? I don't get it.
- andix 4y agoIs it an embedded version though? If you see the start menu, probably not. Because you can easily disable it on windows embedded. And configure a lot of other things, that prevent it from glitching out.
