Why Microsoft Windows XP Embedded and Not Embedded
Linux?
|
Selecting an operating system (OS) platform is one of
the first decisions an embedded developer must make for any given device
design. Whether you are considering migrating from a proprietary to
commercial platform, or from one commercial platform to another, the
objectives are the same: accelerated time to market; a solid, extensible
OS core that can be used across all projects; superior technologies that
support differentiation and address emerging opportunities; and
predictability over the device lifecycle. In addition, you want it at the
lowest possible total cost from a reputable vendor who will support you
throughout the process.
For smart, connected, 32-bit devices requiring rich
applications, Microsoft� Windows� XP Embedded delivers six distinct
advantages over Linux in the embedded space:
- Integrated:
An all-inclusive, tool set that delivers faster OS and application
development time
- Comprehensive:
An OS foundation with proven performance and reliability
- Unmatched:
A technology portfolio for building the next generation of devices
- Interoperable:
Broad interoperability with Microsoft� .NET� enabled applications and
services that span devices, PCs, servers and the Web
- Proven:
A long-term business model that is better aligned with your business
- Global:
A worldwide system to support and speed overall product development
