About Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1. After the October 31, 2014 cutoff, Microsoft stop providing hardware partners with copies of Windows 7 Home (Basic or Premium) and Windows 7 Ultimate. While Microsoft will continue to offer support for these expiring systems until 2020, and has not yet put an end date on the availability of Windows 7 Professional, essentially hardware buyers are now left with a choice - move to implementing Windows 7 Professional (at a significantly higher cost than Windows Embedded), migrate to the much-maligned Windows 8, or take advantage of the continued availability of the Windows Embedded Standard 7 platform.

What Is Windows Embedded
Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7) is built on the same framework as Windows 7 Ultimate, which means that any software that's compatible with a standard Windows 7 distribution will also run properly on WES7. Windows Embedded Standard 7 allows users to identify the specific components of the Windows OS that their system or device requires and include only those features in the final image. In essence, Windows Embedded allows you to pick and choose the features you need in your OS and forgo those that aren't suitable for your unique installation or dedicated appliance.

Windows 7 vs Windows Embedded Standard 7: The Key Differences
The most appealing functional difference is the ability to customize Windows Embedded Standard 7 with only the applicable modules for a given project. Features normally built into the standard operating system (graphical components, drivers, applications) that aren't needed, can be discarded. By including only what is needed, the overall image size is reduced, leaving more space for application-specific programs and files. Users can also define their own custom-branded boot screens and have the ability to auto-run custom application on startup, creating a user interface and experience unique to that device.

In addition to its ease of customization, the final image is considerably easier to deploy. Here at Logic Supply, we can upload a custom Windows Embedded image to our network and easily deploy that image on multiple systems before they're shipped to clients. This creates a turn-key solution that's ready to implement right out of the box. In the case of other Windows 7 versions, users are often required to enter their own product key to activate the OS once their systems arrive.

Perhaps most importantly for embedded device development, WES7 also includes additional Embedded Enabling Features (EEFs) that offer capabilities unique to the embedded variant of Windows 7. These additional features are designed to help integrators create a custom image that's perfectly suited to their unique application.

- Special write filters prevent direct access to the memory, prolonging flash storage life and preventing files from being modified.
- The system can be set to boot directly from a saved hyberfil.sys file, reducing system boot times.
- Windows Embedded Standard 7 allows users to assign Message Box Default Replies, which will automatically log and react to message boxes with "OK" or "Cancel" to ensure uninterrupted operation. Similar features can also be activated to respond to program dialog boxes.

Microsoft has released the Service Pack 1 for Windows Embedded Standard 7. This includes all updates from Windows 7 Service Pack 1 plus additional benefits for the Embedded version of the operating system.

Features which are new to the SP1 version Windows Embedded Standard 7 are:

- SKU Compliance Packages
- These packages allow you to make sure that only features which are licensed for a specific SKU (e.g. WS7E) can be executed on the system - a special licensing service in Windows ensures this. This way you can build a full image with a WS7E SKU Compliance package but only the features which are licensed in WS7E will work. However you can still make use of packages which are allowed in WS7E but which contained also WS7P features in the past!
- SDBoot
- Windows Embedded Standard 7 can now be booted directly from an SD card!
- PMQ Mapping to Out of Box Drivers
- This new feature allows out of box drivers in the distribution share to be mapped automatically during the installation process. This was not possible in the RTM version.

In this interactive video, we discuss the benefits of Windows Embedded Standard 7 operating system & identify some of the Embedded Enabling Features (EEFs) which can help protect your device from malicious attacks ensuring a secure environment.
