For a demo project involving Kinect, my colleague Dorangela Daniele and I started to play around with the recently released Windows Embedded Standard 8 CTP. I already tested both Kinect SDK 1.0 Beta 2 and Kinect SDK 1.0 RTM in Windows 8 Consumer Preview, so we were confident that it would have worked fine in WES8, too. Using IBW, Dora installed WES8 on two embedded devices: an Asus Eee Top 1602 and an Advantech AIMB-212. At the moment, in the CTP version, there are no “Application Compatibility” or “Kinect for Windows Embedded” templates to start with. Also, there is no automatic dependency resolver. This way, she had to build the image from scratch: to be sure that all the required components were included during the setup process, she added almost every module, including the Kinect SDK requirements (.NET Framework 4.0, DirectX runtime), Internet Explorer and Metro UI. After the setup completed successfully and all device drivers had been installed manually (drivers for Windows 8 don’t exist yet, so we use ...

On Win32 it can be used also to monitor modules loaded by an application during runtime, this feature is not supported on CE.

I recently bought a new PC and I choosed a machine based on the 64bit version of Windows 7.
Using a 64bits OS will allow me to use more than 4GB of RAM and this is quite important for me because it will allow me to run multiple virtual machines to test beta products and keep some customers' development environment isolated from the others (for example for customers that need to test and certify each installed QFE and may allow me to install them on my development machine some time after their availability).
