OS & Driver Installation
The only factor determining storage space requirements is the
number of function modules needed.
Because XP Embedded is wholly compatible with Windows XP,
developers can compile controller software in the Windows XP
environment and transfer the code to Embedded XP for imme-
diate use. No new tools are required to use XP Embedded,
lowering software development costs. Another advantage is
the cost of licensing Embedded XP being much less than that
of Windows XP.
