Microsoft is a step closer to delivering the final version of the Windows 7-based version of its Embedded Standard 2011 product that is codenamed “Quebec.”
On February 15, Microsoft made available to testers the Release Candidate (RC) version of Windows Embedded Standard 2011 — a product the company has decided to renamed Windows Embedded Standard 7. The RC is available to select testers via the Microsoft Connect site, according to an email sent to those testers on February 15.
Windows Embedded Standard is targeted at OEMs and specialized device makers who want to build platforms and applications that use various Windows components. In other words, it is the componentized version of Windows 7.
Microsoft delivered a first test build of the product in September 2009. At that time, company officials said to expect the final release in the second half of 2010 (in spite of the name, at that point, being Embedded Standard 2011).
