Technologies and Features in Embedded Core (Standard 7 SP1)

7/8/2014

Because the Windows Embedded Core package is the smallest deployable image in Windows Embedded Standard 7, you might be interested in knowing the features and technologies contained in Windows Embedded Core. Knowing whether a feature exists in the Windows Embedded Core package lets developers know whether they must find a different package that contains the components they want to use and add it to the image.

For more information about Windows Embedded Core, see Embedded Core (eCore). For more information about Windows Embedded Core components and settings, see Windows Embedded Core.
