New Windows 7 Spin-Off to Launch Soon, Windows Embedded Compact 7

There seems to be plenty of Windows 7 to go around, and certainly, Microsoft is not shy when it comes down to riding the wave of success of the latest Windows client. But, in all fairness, Windows 7 is a solid release, top notch in terms of reliability, stability, performance, compatibility, security, etc., so it might not be such a bad idea that the Redmond company use the OS in order to overhaul additional platforms.

The latest version of Windows Embedded has already been rebranded in order to make the connection with Windows 7 as clear as possible, and, now, the software giant is about ready to wrap up another operating system on the embedded front. Olivier Bloch, Microsoft Embedded technical evangelist, revealed in mid-February 2010 that the Windows CE vNext would be based on Windows 7, just as Windows Embedded Standard 7, formerly codename Quebec, and Windows Embedded Standard 2011.
