At we had a few (non-medical) products that ran on Windows XP Embedded [1]. It was pretty nice, it had something much like a Linux package manager where you could select which components you wanted and didn't want, and it would generate a disk image that you could dump on your target device. And no, we didn't offer security updates (although Microsoft did provide some infrastructure to do this). This was a hardware company, the idea of providing anything other than consumables and spare parts was quite alien.
