Computex: Windows Embedded Compact 7 Highlights Investment in ARM

Yesterday at Computex, the Microsoft Windows Embedded team announced the availability of the latest version of Windows Embedded CE – officially known Windows Embedded Compact 7. The release is a Community Technology Preview (CTP) which is a fancy way to say public beta. The CTP can be downloaded from the Microsoft website.

Windows Embedded Compact 7 includes a list of cool features to help OEMs develop smart, connected, service oriented devices with custom user-interfaces. But, if you take a closer at the code you’ll notice an engineering investment and significant improvement – Compact 7 now includes support for more ARM architectures including ARMv7, ARMv7 NEON™ and SMP.

The added ARM architectures provide OEMs working with Windows Embedded competitive performance in the segments proliferated by ARM and our ARM PartnersAuto, Mobile, Consumer and Home.

Several ARM silicon Partners are already their support for the Windows Embedded Compact 7 CTP
