![]() "Windows XP Embedded carries along some of the baggage from Win XP as it tries to push its way into the embedded space, so they have to put in added features like security to make it a little more rigorous," said Chris Lanfear, Director, Embedded Software group with Venture Development Corp. Some industry observers believe it is almost mandatory they bring over as much security and communications capabilities to Windows Embedded because its desktop cousin, Windows XP client version, has been under constant attack from viruses and hackers. SP2 also enables devices to communicate through a range of different communications technologies including the Remote Desktop Protocol Version 5.2. The newly redesigned firewall is designed to better protect devices by giving both users and administrators finer control over in-bound connections. Heading the list of security enhancements is the inclusion of the Windows Firewall, which is activated by default. Also included is support for Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), which helps administrators to remotely update applications from a single location in hopes of taking some of the complexity out of that task. To bolster the product in this area, the company has included its Software Update Services (SUS) support, which helps administrators to better integrate devices across networks and results in lower maintenance costs.
