VIA embedded platforms will support Windows Embedded Standard 2011

With the release of Windows 7 just weeks away, Microsoft are keen to talk up the embedded counterpart to the full desktop OS, Windows Embedded Standard 2011. Like previous versions of Windows Embedded, the OS comes in component form so that OEMs can just choose the bits they need for their designs. VIA has long been a partner of Microsoft with their embedded versions, with all (so far as I can see) their products supporting the OS. The Windows 7-based Embedded Standard 2011 will be no different, according to a Press Release issued Tuesday.
"These features include support for 64-bit CPUs, Windows Aero user interface, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Touch (including multi-gesture touch interfaces and context-aware applications) and Windows Flip 3D navigation. These features enable developers to create product differentiation while focusing on their core competencies."
