Windows XP Embedded Boot-up Boost
Wednesday, 09 March 2005 by Michel Roth
For those of you using Windows XP Embedded as a thin client OS:

"Microsoft Windows XP Embedded can boot from a tiny USB flash disk module, thanks to the efforts of M-Systems. Booting up from an M-Systems uDiskOnChip USB 2.0 flash disk is twice as fast as booting from CompactFlash, according to the company. Target applications include thin clients, point-of-sale terminals, gaming equipment, single-board computers, and other embedded systems.

Microsoft endorsed the new capability, which was announced at this week's Embedded Systems Conference. "M-Systems' uDiskOnChip USB 2.0 flash disk boot solution is an example of the innovative and flexible solutions that bring added value to our Windows XP Embedded customers," said Jane Gilson, director for the Mobile and Embedded Devices Division at Microsoft. "Microsoft works closely with companies such as M-Systems to bring the best user experience to our embedded customers."
