Microsoft says it has released its new embedded operating system for x86-based devices to product manufacturers. Windows Embedded Standard 2009 eschews Vista, instead combining Windows XP codebase updates with new versions of Internet Explorer, RDP (remote desktop protocol), Windows Media Player, and .NET, according to the company.

I understand the Windows Embedded stuff is all intended to be used by corporate admins and OEM rollouts, but I can't help thinking Microsoft has made a mistake by not offering a version of these technologies for the home user and hobbyists market. [/QUOTE]
No, no, I'm sure it's quite intentional. They want to make sure people keep buying Vista and machines preloaded with Vista since they earn more $$$ per copy sold.
With any luck Newegg will let you get an OEM copy anyway if you really want one.
