Windows XP Embedded

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

An enhanced version of Windows XP for compact applications such as PDAs, handhelds and other appliances that use the x86 CPU. It supports such features as CompactPCI and the ability to boot from flash memory or CD-ROM. Originally called "Windows NT Embedded" and renamed XP Embedded (XPe) in 2001, this version of Windows does not require the use of a keyboard. Unlike Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded can run regular applications and drivers written for Windows XP, but cannot run on CPUs other than x86.

Since the Windows XP/NT operating systems write information to the boot device on startup, the embedded version includes a write filter that redirects this information to a memory cache when the OS is booted from a read-only medium. See embedded system and Windows CE.
