ISO File:
Please notice that the ISO file of this Windows XP Embedded build is posted because it took a long time for me to find an ISO file of this build that was available for download and the file is no longer available to download from Microsoft and there's lack of download mirrors of this ISO file available, which made the ISO file hard to get.

That is likely because the majority of the Embedded software downloads were behind the ECE/SOC paywall for many years. It (ECE) is not around anymore, so I don't think there is any harm in pointing out that it once existed. (EDIT: the first link actually talks about it)

Also wanted to point out there is something from 2009, an Update Rollup 1.0 with a p/n X13-82297. And before you ask, no I can't make it available.
