Hi Folfs,

Spring this year is starting with a new release of Windows Embedded Standard from Microsoft, the Windows Embedded 8 Standard. This product has the same modular phylosophy as the previous version, but it is based on Windows 8 operating system.

Different flavours of that OS are available :

  • Windows Embedded 8 Pro : A full version of Windows 8, 8 Pro brings the welcome familiarity and full capabilities of Windows 8 to the embedded market to allow partners to quickly deliver exciting and differentiated industry specific solutions. Find out more.
  • Windows Embedded 8 Standard : A componentized version of Windows 8, 8 Standard can be optimized for the specific needs of specialized and industry specific devices within an intelligent system, including embedded specific lockdown features for enhanced device security. Find out more.
  • Windows Embedded 8 Industry : 8 Industry is a fixed platform solution based on Windows 8 that provides the capabilities that devices in Retail, Financial Services and Hospitality Industries require. Find out more.

For those who are looking for a modular version of Windows 8 RT... then sorry it is not in the Microsoft plans to provide such version of Windows 8.
