6月1日,儿童节,或许对我们是一个已经非常遥远的日子。但是对于嵌入式的开发人员来说,它是一个大日子,因为今天在台北的COMPUTEX大展上
微软正式公布了其嵌入式产品线最新的一员,Windows Embedded Compact 7。

Windows Embedded Compact 7的前身就是家喻户晓的Windows Embedded
CE(简称WinCE)系统了,不过现在随着版本号的升级它改名为Windows Embedded Compact
7。当然,同样是代号为7的产品,微软的另外两个重量级产品Windows 7以及Windows Phone 7
在也是炙手可热。前者在短短的时间内取得了不俗的销量,后者则是微软革命性的移动终端设备。而且,更重要的是,Windows Phone 7它是基于Windows
Embedded Compact 7 Core所开发的。对,你没有看错,后面还有一个Core字。在以前我们都知道Windows Mobile平台它是基于Win
CE平台而定制出来的一个子品牌/产品。那么现在,Windows Phone 7和Windows Embedded Compact
7只是共用了同一个内核。不知道这次Windows Embedded Compact 7的问世是否会像Windows Phone
7那样给人耳目一新的感觉呢?至于微软官方对于Windows Embedded Compact 7的特点,则概括为(为了保持原汁原味,不翻译了):

Rich and connected experiences for consumers. Windows
Embedded Compact 7 gives consumers the ability to share and manage content
across networked devices with Digital Living Network Alliance, such as new
HDTVs, and a new media library.

Simplified access to information for enterprise users.
Windows Embedded Compact 7 makes it easier to connect to corporate
e-mail, calendar and contacts over enterprise networks through Microsoft AirSync
and Microsoft Exchange, as well as to Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF viewers to
access important documents, and to Windows 7 Device Stage to transfer data and
media between PCs and devices.

Resources for hardware manufacturers and developers.
Windows Embedded Compact 7 provides resources to help bring
high-performing, highly reliable and differentiated specialty devices to market
quicker with support for multicore and the latest asset relationship
management-based architecture and tools, including Platform Builder, Visual
Studio, Expression Blend and Silverlight for Windows Embedded.

还有很重要的一点这里并没有提到,就是Windows Embedded Compact 7将支持Flash 10.1(参见http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/Features/2010/may10/05-31RichExperiences.mspx)!
这样的话对于最终消费者来说可算是大好事儿。目前华硕已经基于Windows Embedded Compact 7发布了一款平板电脑EP101TC 10。





当然由于Windows Embedded Compact 7的强大的可定制性以及表现力(尤其是对于Silverlight的支持),除了平板电脑之外,还可以制作出多种多样的设备,例如播放器、网络终端等
等。。。。。。
