6月1日对于嵌入式开发人员来说是个大日子，因为今天在台北的COMPUTEX大展上微软正 式公布了其嵌入式产品线最新的一员，Windows Embedded Compact 7。 Windows Embedded Compact 7的前身就是家喻户晓的Windows Embedded CE（简称WinCE）系统了，不过现在随着版本号的升级它改名为Windows Embedded Compact 7。当然，同样是代号为7的产品，微软的另外两个重量级产品Windows 7以 及Windows Phone 7现在也是炙手可热。前者在短短的时间内取得了不俗的销量，后者则是微软革命性的移动终端设备。而且，更重要的是，Windows Phone 7它是基于Windows Embedded Compact 7 Core所开发的。 对，你没有看错，后面还有一个Core字。在以前我们都知道Windows Mobile平台它是基于Win CE平台而定制出来的一个子品牌/产品。那么现在，Windows Phone 7和Windows Embedded Compact 7只是共用了同一个内核。不知道这次Windows Embedded Compact 7的问世是否会像Windows Phone 7那样给人耳目一新的感觉呢？至于微软官方对于Windows Embedded Compact 7的特点，则概括为（为了保持原汁原味，不翻译了）： Rich and connected experiences for consumers. Windows Embedded Compact 7 gives consumers the ability to share and manage content across networked devices with Digital Living Network Alliance, such as new HDTVs, and a new media library. Simplified access to information for enterprise users. Windows Embedded Compact 7 makes it easier to connect to corporate e-mail, calendar and contacts over enterprise networks through Microsoft AirSync and Microsoft Exchange, as well as to Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF viewers to access important documents, and to Windows 7 Device Stage to transfer data and media between PCs and devices. Resources for hardware manufacturers and developers. Windows Embedded Compact 7 provides resources to help bring high-performing, highly reliable and differentiated specialty devices to market quicker with support for multicore and the latest asset relationship management-based architecture and tools, including Platform Builder, Visual Studio, Expression Blend and Silverlight for Windows Embedded. 还有很重要的一点这里并没有提到，就是Windows Embedded Compact 7将支持Flash 10.1（参见http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/Features/2010/may10/05-31RichExperiences.mspx）! 这样的话对于最终消费者来说可算是大好事儿。目前华硕已经基于Windows Embedded Compact 7发布了一款平板电脑EP101TC 10。 当然由于Windows Embedded Compact 7的强大的可定制性以及表现力（尤其是对于Silverlight的支持），除了平板电脑之外，还可以制作出多种多样的设备，例如播放器、网络终端等 等。 最后，如果您是一位嵌入式的开发者的话，现在您已经可以去微软的connect站点下载CTP版本了：https://connect.microsoft.com/windowsembeddedce 相关资源：http://www.windowsembedded.com/compact7 http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/Features/2010/may10/05-31RichExperiences.mspx 来源：WPMind.com |
