Windows Embedded Standard is the next generation of Windows XP Embedded and different in some manners. It is the first Microsoft embedded operating system that comes with full certified support for IPv6 in addition to IPv4 support. It includes a new TCP/IP stack that provides the latest wireless networking and added security through Network Access Protection (NAP) to easily integrate into the enterprise network. These devices can join existing active directory domains and be secured using Active Directory group policies already in place.
