Windows Embedded Standard 2009

When I was in college at the University of Virginia I obtained Windows Embedded 2009 Standard. Here I will provide the steps necessary to build a Windows XP Embedded Thin Client and ISO.

Step 1 Install Windows Embedded Standard 2009.

Step 2. Create a small 650MB FAT partition and run sysprep on the partition.The partition needs to be FAT because sysprep is 16 or 32 bit.

Step 3. Open the Target Designer.

Step 4. Save your file as 'Thin Client.slx" and drag an thin client template from the designer templates to the workspace.

Step 5. Go to Configuration -> Check Dependencies or press F5.

Step 6. Go To Configuration -> Build Target Image after you perform the necessary tasks.

Step 7. Run 'hd2iso' from the command line and follow the on screen instructions.

Before you build the image you might have to correct build warnings.such as finding missing components and putting them in the workspace.

Windows CE Embedded

There are several great books on Embedded Windows OS design I'll post more when I find better ones. I started Embedded design in college With Microsoft in Platform Builder and CE 3.0 at a vocational college in Elizabethon TN recognized nationally by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Some books include

1. Windows CE 6.0 Fundamentals,
2.  Professional 
3.  Windows Compact CE 7.0 

 I haven't done any Embedded design since 2001. After a 5 year music career and good ambient music I'm becoming a Microsoft Partner again and .NET foundation team member. My domain is paid with unlimited SSD storage for 5 years. I do like computer nostalgia and may turn my Windows Server installation into a type 1 hypervisor. for now I'm using Virtual Box. Here is the Shared Source Initiative for Embedded and MVP which is what I have we will get into 2013 later maybe in 2021.

Azure Student Starter

After being and MSDN Subscriber since 2003. and on Bizspark I'm stopping my Microsoft software as of 2019 and saving for when I'll really need the new mac or Windows OS I'm on Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC With a Quadro FX series HP Desktop. and have only used Visual Studio 6.0 2008 team system 2012 ultimate and noe 2017. Microsoft has sent me hundreds of DVD I don't even use I finaly found my Adobe Creative Suite on DVD with 8 DVD's in a Box CS2 and I have my CS6 Master Collection with Gold Plan. Adobe apparently is on the S&P 100 and doesn't make many boxes more on my Adobe contract later. Here is Microsoft Azure student Starter for students and Alumni. Next week I'm plying my Softimage 2015 and just stopping it does work on Windopws 10 and 10 is the last version of Windows reportedly. It is Microsoft's Adaptive Systems group and project 'Brass' from DARPA that looks hopeful making software last hundreds of years.
