Windows Embedded Standard 7 Service Pack 1 CTP Available

On Microsoft Connect you can download the Customer Technical Preview of Service Pack 1 for Windows Embedded Standard 7.

New features in SP1 include RemoteFX — a set of RDP technologies that allow a rich graphics experience directly from the server.

Additional features specifically for Windows Embedded Standard 7:

  • PMQ Mapping to Out of Box Drivers – Drivers in the out of box drivers folder of the distribution share are now mapped automatically during installation. Until now only in-box drivers were mapped.
  • SKU Compliance Packages – 3 new packages are available which can be used to only include features appropriate for the selected SKU. This makes it easier to build an image for a specific Windows Embedded Standard 7 SKU.

The CTP is available in different versions:

  • Toolkit with integrated SP1 Distribution Share to create new installations with SP1 CTP
  • SP1 Update CAB which can be used to deploy the SP1 CTP to existing devices

To send feedback you can use the Microsoft Connect platform.
