Unleash the power of Windows 7 technologies in Windows Embedded Standard 2011 using a solid platform that fits into existing customer infrastructure. To quote Kevin Dallas, general manager of Windows Embedded this “CTP empowers our worldwide ecosystem of OEMs, partners and developers to take advantage of the next generation platform’s enhanced Windows 7-based features and provide feedback, prior to its general release to manufacturing. We encourage the embedded community to take full advantage of the CTP’s availability and join in our excitement as we look ahead to the future availability of Windows Embedded platforms incorporating Windows 7 technologies.”
