submix8c Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Second post about Embedded. Fact: Embedded is used by ATM, Consumer Sales (orders, registers), Robotics assembly/packaging, etc. Business $ will not be immediately "shut off" like the Desktop/Laptop versions - those are MUCH easier to "roll out". Compare a Mainframe to a PC - BIG difference because the Mainframe has to be "tailored" to the Hardware before it even functions. Very similar scenario.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_computer_systemhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/windows-embedded.aspxhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Embedded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
