It appears that Windows 8 Client and Windows 8 Server will be joined by Windows 8 Embedded. There’s no telling if customers will get Windows Embedded Standard 8, but the next version of Windows Embedded will certainly be based on Windows vNext. No real surprise here, Microsoft is simply doing a repeat of the Windows 7 – Windows Embedded Standard 7 pairing.

This team offers an opportunity to development significant knowledge about many features in Windows, gain significant customer exposure through a combination of blogs, DLs, and customer events, develop an early view on future expansion to other areas including thin clients, POS, multi-function printers, and Win 8 Embedded and last but not the least, an opportunity to work with a product and organization that is very successful in the financial and business sense.
