/poz/ - Windows Embedded General

What's the catch?

>>58035758
It's still Windows.

point of sale

Does it play games like 8.1 POS

>>58035730
no drivers, no install
win10 or linux is the only way now.

can I install my shitty GPU drivers on that?

>>58035730
What's the point?

Also which version of windows is it closest to?

Absolutely no drivers
Remember, this OS wasnt meant to run on just any old desktop. Its meant for embedded systems and things that arent going to be using alot of resources anyway. Graphical drivers are nonexistent for anything.
This is meant for stuff like CNC machines, checkout terminals, and other dedicated machines.
Not for gaming, shitposting or pretty much anything else.

If you have a Pre-2005 laptop and think this a good choice due to the system requirements, just dont. Its better to use what your laptop was designed to use, XP, 2000, 98, etc, because there will be drivers.

Ive tried this on every single one of my thinkpads except for my oldest one that ran 95. There were only supported drivers for one of them, so the rest were left with just the generic drivers that really held the system back.

Forget about using this on anything with modern parts, good luck finding drivers for anything PCI-E

>>58036182
Its like XP basically but has no drivers
The only thing it has going for it, is that it has support by microsoft for years into the future.

Which honestly shouldnt be a problem if youre not retarded and dont rape your PC with malware

>>58035730
can i use this shit in an arcade machine with windows XP?

WES7 summary copypasta:
-Based off Windows 7
-Support ends in 2021 instead of 2020
-You can select components you want to install. Including removing IE.
-Embedded Features such as no GUI boot, RAMDisk driver, ability to be installed and booted from external HDD and write filters.
-Volume_BA channel, insert key and you are done. No activation.
-Enterprise features such as Applocker available in Windows 7 Enterprise/Ultimate
-Keyboard Filter* through group policy that allows you to disable keyboard keys/key combinations.
-Updates are on separate channel, does not install dedicated telemetry updates.**
**Do contain Quality Rollups though. Advice to either disable Update and use write filters:EWF(HORM)/FBWF or manually download the security only updates from windows catalog.
*Requires WEDU1.2 to download the update, and use DISM to add the package.

What should I do with that monstrous .exe file?

Can you install Nvidia drivers on this shit or not?

>>58040374
Download all the files, put them in same directory and run the .exe to extract the .iso

>>58040400
WES7 Yes
POSReady2009 Latest No

>>58040404
So in order to make an ISO I am required to have another Win installation?

>>58040460
I think you can use p7zip on linux but it is command line only

does WES7 contain sp1 for win7?

>>58040575
Yes. The non SP1 version is WES2011 which is very rare.

>>58035758
It's call POS because it's a piece of shit

>>58040603
i'll download and give it a try then

>>58036829
I have stupid question can I activate this with mstoolkit and install netbeans? I have old laptop and I want light OS.

>>58040732
No need mstoolkit. Google XGY72, use one of the keys and it is automatically activated, and passes all genuine tests.

>>58040751
Thank you I am gonna try

>>58036103
Yeah because Windows 8 and OS X totally don't exist.

Why don't you just use Windows Server

>>58040975
Why would I just use Windows Server?

>>58040983
Because it has all the benefits from your POS and it's newer

>>58040989
Will it run well on a ULV Core Solo with 512MB RAM?

>>58041001
I don't know, but it will actually run 64bit programs

>>58041012
Will it run 16bit programs though?

>>58041405

bruh

>>58041442
You need to F5 if you want SATA. This is still based off XP. Otherwise you need to download the DVD .iso image and use the USB creator tool to make a USB installer, and then place the SATA drivers in the USB.

>>58041104
possibly. do you know specifically what advantages 2008 has over 2012 r2?

>>58035730
>posready
>not WES7
are you guys stupid?

>>58036829
Is it legit??

>>58041521
If you mean the Windows will be detected as genuine yes.

>>58041521
Yes, >>58041484 here
I'm using it on my home server in two VMs. Pretty good shit. Takes typically 2GiB of disk space after installing

I put my SATA controller in compatibility mode and was able to install this. Now if I download sata drivers and install them in XP, can I then boot it up without compatibility mode? Seems easier than trying to install the drivers from the OS installer if that works.

unar "Standard 7 SP1 64bit IBW.part1.exe"

>>58035730
So what is this?
Free windows for VM?

>>58041694
Yes

Tip: don't forget to enable the Volume Shadow copy Service in the setup. QEMU guest utilities need it and will fail with an obscure error if you don't have them.
I just found out after installation Win 7 Embedded and over 120 updates for 2 hours.

WES7 is a componentized version of Windows 7. Basically like nLite/vLite but official Microsoft version.
POSReady 2009 is a version of XP that is meant for POS Systems. It also have a small degree of componentization during setup. The degree of componentization is far less than WES09 which allows you to choose from thousands of components.
3rd party application? Install like normal? Run setup kek.

Also nope

Linux has better performance and actually helps you learn to program.

Windows will never have a good package manager or good file system and it will always be a branch of the NSA.

You are all cucks for wanting to use anything made by Microsoft.

>>58042295
Reduced botnet, increase in flexibility and choice. You can choose not to install Internet Exploder if you wish. You basically can take part in designing your user experience.
>>58042330
Many people would just learn a bunch of commands that are incompatible with other distros. They will only learn something useful if they are into it.

>>58042330
any point in getting the w7 version of embedded or is that just as contaminated as regular windows?

>>58042534
Windows Embedded probably still has backdoors but at least there's no excessive "telemetry".
Also no activation.

>>58042534
No dedicated telemetry updates, but still have quality rollup. Still need to catalog+security-only rollup. Their rollups(both quality and security) are however always come in another package segregated from normal Windows 7.

>>58041555
an1?

>>58035730
>try this
>can never log in after installing

>>58041555
You can load drivers from CD-ROM and floppy, probably also from USB, during setup.
I just installed it directly on QEMU VirtIO SCSI.

>>58042632
>can never log in after installing
You should use "Administrator" as username.

What about 8.1 Embedded Industry?

>>58042654
Well I'm retarded, was trying "admin".

>>58042142
It's based on a good Windows, has better compatibily with stuff and it's less resource intensive

>>58042658
Ran it as Host OS, it have telemetry updates. Keyboard filter and UWF is pretty nifty though, albeit no enterprise features such as bitlocker.

So It's been a while since I installed winblows
Is DAZLoader still a thing?

>>58042008
Is this the "Install Gentoo" of the Windows world?

>>58042685

How fucking stupid can you be?

>>58042693

I'm not gonna be stuck with a shitty 32bit OS

>>58042701
Win Embedded 7 is 64-bit

>>58042713
And why should I use it over Server 2008/20012 R2?

>>58042746
Space and therefore speed.
I don't need Windows Server features.

>>58042762
How's the compatibility with games and drivers?
Do I need DAZ to activate it?

>>58042798
>How's the compatibility with games and drivers?
I don't play games and Windows 7 drivers work.

>>58042798
>Do I need DAZ to activate it?
Do you have problems with short-term memory?

>>58040828
>stale joke
Lets just push this kneecapped OS right?

>>58042690
Windows Embedded Standard 2009 and XP Embedded are more "Gentoo" than WES7, they require you to install tools on a development machine, install XP on target device and run Target Analyzer Probe which outputs devices.pmq file. Import this .pmq file into target designer. Using component designer, import driver files, manually add registry data and load the completed customized package into the SQL database. Next, select components in Target Designer you want to have. There are many, many components. After selecting, check dependencies and build the image. The image will be dumped in a folder. Format the HDD of target device with an XP machine, and copy all the contents in the image folder into the HDD. Afterwards, insert the HDD to target device. First Boot Agent should start.

WES7 is a good choice for virtual machines.

My 64-bit WES7 base image is 4.8 GiB with most features installed, all updates up until today's, Firefox and CCleaner

>>58047163
Highly depends on which config/template you choose during setup.

>>58047630
I thought you have to manually install updates?

>>58047694
Windows Update works but it's very slow right after the installation.

These 3 manual updates fix the slowness:
http://www.freenode-windows.org/resources/vista-7/windows-update

Afterwards update works as it should (of course still slow compared to GNU+Linux).

>>58047694
Only XPe and WES09 need manual.

How is it different from normal 7.

>>58049024
No you can't. There is no app store for example.
This is a componentized version of Windows 7 with additional features such as Write Filters, and ends support in 2021 instead of 2020. You can choose what is installed.

>>58049061
I didn't mean things like the app store or metro shit.
I meant if I can install games on it. Because everyone knows that's the only reason to still use windows.

Not that anon, but why?

>>58050830
>>58050933
There's 0 benefit if your system can easily handle 7 anyway, and you might get incompatibilities with games and drivers.

>>58050933
No advantages related to gaming performance.

So what's the consensus?
WES7, Server 2012 R2, Server 2008 R2 or just Standard Winbot?

>>58050906

If it doesn't have telemetry then that's even better.

>>58051143
I'm a spoiled brat, anything that doesn't have the needed drivers to install built in to the installer's no good for me.

>>58051169
You could try it out on VM first, WES7.
But when it comes to privacy WES7 is the way.
Of course with other 7's you got to make sure you don't download the telemetry updates or just disable the update service.

Consider Linux

>>58052206
I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

So why did MS base POSReady 2009 on XP? Why not Vista? Vista Embedded was a thing.

>>58053419
Not even Microsoft trusts in Vista

>>58053419
I think it is because Vista was very resource intensive for a POS machine

>>58053419
POS systems are usually ancient pieces of shit that have been running since more than 10 years. And since they aren't directly connected to the internet, there are no security problems

>>58053419
Because Vista is more resource intensive than 7 for some reason

God bless Microsoft

>>58049202
those drivers might work for your system. most drivers will work for windows vista through 10.

>>58053513
because 7 is what we should have gotten.

>>58052325
If they work on XP, then yes

>>58052695

>>58042008
If I check enough check boxes, will there be any actual difference from normal windows 7?

>>58054939
I installed it with the defaults, and I didn't see much difference. The login screen is different and some pre-installed bloat is gone. The activation was cleaner too, and there seems to be less updates, probably because less botnet than usual.

>>58055573
How is the login screen?

>>58049149
Of course you can. No DX12 though.
>>58049904
There isn't one.
>>58050388
Yes. However, since EWF can commit live, it is not as secure as FBWF which requires a restart to commit. FBWF also allows exception pathways(eg recycler, documents, desktop etc)
>>58050582
Thin PC and POSReady 7 end in late 2021, WES7 end in early 2021. The rest in 2020.

The POSReady link provided by OP is 2009 version, not POSReady 7.
Not sure which tl;dr you want, so:
POSReady 2009 is XP that ends support in 2019. Contains some embedded features such as FBWF. Moderately componentized.
POSReady 7 is Win 7 that ends support in 2021. Contains some embedded features such as FBWF, EWF and Keyboard Filter. No componentization.
WES09 is XPe that ends support in 2019. You do not install this OS, but instead install tools to build an image that will be copied to the HDD for booting. PXE, SD and USB boot are supported. Updates must be installed manually though.

>>58057977

>>58058002
WES7 is Win 7 that ends support in 2021, it have moderately-high componentization. Contains some embedded features(optional) such as EWF(HORM), FBWF, Keyboard Filter, Message Box Default Reply and Dialog box Filter. Updating can be done by the OS unlike XPe and WES09. You can choose not to install many components such as Internet Exploder.

Windows Embedded Compact 7 is Windows CE. Requires Visual Studio and Development tools installed to build an image. For ARM and x86, not compatible with almost anything since it is Windows CE.

>>58057977
wtf.. I feel like a noob again
is POSReady 2009 XPe? does the e just stand for embeded?

Would you be so kind asto define componetization?

So we can get POSReady 2009, but not WES09? what about POSReady 7? Are the keys for that leaked yet?

>>58058265
XPe is XP Embedded
POSReady 2009 from my tinkering seems to be built from XP Pro directly since there are a few distinctive features of XP Embedded such as a long CMD prompt window by default which POSReady 2009 does not have.
My analysis is this
XP Pro > XPe > WES09
XP Pro > POSReady 2009
WES09 .isos are very rare nowadays it seems. Also since it have no update feature, you have to either update it or use a write filter to protect the image.
POSReady 7 keys are not leaked yet. Probably never will I suppose.
Componentization is allowing you to choose what to install during(and after for WES7 using DISM online) setup.

>>58058319
Thank you for the info.
Ill start playing around with this stuff, it seems interesting.
