[JMH]

Microsoft is a step closer to delivering the final version of the Windows 7-based version of its Embedded Standard 2011 product that is codenamed “Quebec.”
On February 15, Microsoft made available to testers the Release Candidate (RC) version of Windows Embedded Standard 2011 — a product the company has decided to renamed Windows Embedded Standard 7. The RC is available to select testers via the Microsoft Connect site, according to an email sent to those testers on February 15.

It seems to be an extremely customizable or stripped down version of Windows 7. It's intended to be used for embedded systems (like mobile devices, small computers, etc.) where they don't have much processing power or memory.

I hear, that if you hack past the front end of most self service checkout lines, you'll find a full version of Windows CE, which can be hacked and filled with loggers and such. Would this be the same, or a more secure version?
