Microsoft offers POSReady 2009 white papers

Microsoft announced six brief white papers about its Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 for point-of-service systems. The papers discuss the operating system's development tools, creating a prototype application, best practices for automatic updates, POS for .NET, using SQL, and legacy OPOS (OLE for POS) support, says Microsoft.

Newly offered on Microsoft's MSDN website, the white papers cover the company's Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 operating system. Formally announced in January, POSReady 2009 is designed as a successor for Windows Embedded for Point of Service (WEPOS). Compared to the older POS stack, it offers technologies such as Microsoft Silverlight, the .NET Framework 3.5 with Windows Presentation Foundation, Internet Explorer 7, Windows Media Player 11, Microsoft SQL Server Express, and viewers for Microsoft Office documents.
