Reduce development costs and Time To Market

Let Wordsworth show you how Windows XP Embedded will reduce your time to market by allowing you to take advantage of a familiar programming model, powerful set of tools and a range of compatible hardware and devices that can be customised to deliver a complete one-stop-solution.

Less expensive than the Standard Windows XP Professional License plus the operating system overhead is also greatly reduced along with the hardware requirements. This reduction allows the use of solid state storage such as Compact Flash and Micro Disk Modules (MDM) rather than traditional magnetic storage devices, dropping the power consumption and the amount of heat that needs to be dissipated.

Now you can leverage your knowledge of Visual Studio and develop with integrated technologies that include Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player and the .NET Framework to create quicker applications and drivers for the Windows XP Embedded devices and product solutions we can provide you.

The Windows XP Embedded License offers several other money saving possibilities as well, not only is it less expensive than the Standard Windows XP Professional License but the operating system overhead is also greatly reduced along with the hardware requirements. This reduction allows the use of solid state storage such as Compact Flash and Micro Disk Modules (MDM) rather than traditional magnetic storage devices, dropping the power consumption and the amount of heat that needs to be dissipated.

This process of streamlining not only reduces the overall cost of your product but can also significantly lessen the systems carbon foot print. With environmental issues constantly being a concern and pressure from all sides for Business and Industry to go Green, having the lowest Carbon Footprint possible will help ensure the future of your new development.

Key benefits

  • Window XP Embedded comprises over 12’000 components based on the Windows XP Professional binaries.
  • By using only the components you need, you can reduce development time, optimize operating system size, and lower hardware costs.
  • This allows compatibility with Win32 application, drivers and services.
  • This unique modular approach to the worlds most popular operating systems allows us to build a completely bespoke operating system refined to the customers exact requirements & guarantee 100% compatibility with any application they have designed to run on a Windows environment.
  • Excluding non required, software, services & drivers also reduces the hardware required to run the system. This in turn not only lowers the initial cost of the unit but the total cost of ownership as the overall power consumption of the unit is decreased giving you a “low carbon footprint”
  • Enables Customers to use familiar development tools, used by over six million developers.
  • Lower software development costs
  • Shorter development times
  • Product development can be done in weeks rather than years.
