Windows® XP Professional

Windows XP Professional for Embedded Systems is an embedded version of the Classic XP Pro desktop OS, and is available for fixed-function or dedicated systems.

It is designed for devices that have a strict need for Microsoft Windows XP Professional application compatibility and where reduced footprint is not a primary design requirement.

Unlike Microsoft Windows XP Embedded, Windows XP Professional with Embedded Restrictions is not a componentized version of the Windows OS and an OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) is needed to produce the OS image. Therefore, the OS image size is not as customizable.

Key Features:

  • The same full Operating System as XP Professional OEM version
  • Language Independent Licensing – Multi User Interface (MUI) Language OPK
  • Online Activation Disabled – for customers whose usage is 1k and above, activation can be disabled via an application to Microsoft
  • Long Lifetime Support – support at least until 2016
  • Availabiliy of version SP2c and SP3

As you may know, Microsoft has announced end-of-life for the Windows XP Pro product range. However, Silica is able to provide extended licensing and support at least until 2016, 2020 respectively.
