Avantech Windows 7 support

Friday, 13 November, 2009 | Supplied by: Advantech Australia Pty Ltd


Advantech has announced support for the release of Windows 7 for Embedded Systems. Windows 7 adds several new functions into this release, including Windows Touch and Windows XP Mode. Windows 7 is claimed to give more muscle to embedded devices with advanced technologies that deliver better user experiences.

XP Mode provides an environment in which legacy applications for Windows XP can still run on Windows 7-based devices, while Windows Touch allows for touch-screen control and provides visual feedback for touches and multi-touch gestures.

Microsoft’s Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) significantly reduces the number and severity of security-related design and coding defects.

Additionally, BitLocker and BitLocker To Go are claimed to provide advanced encryption that protects device data and now supports USB removable devices.

Windows 7 also allows multiple OS boot images to be stored on a single virtual hard drive (VHD). This flexibility allows users to create multiple VHDs with OS installed onto them without losing performance.
