22.5.2007Using Windows XPe to create a home media server
Windows Media Player 11 now
features the Home Media
Ecosystem (HME), which lets a
Windows-based system serve
streaming media to client
devices. One great way to
deploy an HME server is via a
Windows XP Embedded (XPe)
image, according to a
new article
by Microsoft's Alex
Gimenez.
"XPe's
Windows XP Embedded Update
Rollup 1.0 makes it fairly
easy to configure and use HME
on Windows Embedded systems,"
writes the Windows XP Embedded
(XPe) team developer on the
XPe team blog. "This turns
Windows Media Player into the
core of a set-top-box
system."
To build an
image with HME, Gimenez
writes, developers simply
create an XPe image that
includes the Windows Media
Player 11 and the Winlogon
components. All other
dependencies will be brought
in upon dependency resolution,
including the new Windows
Media Format Runtime 11
component.

11.07.2007Hypervisors in Embedded Systems
Mike Glass: I attended Embedded World in Nurnberg last week. The number one application I saw over and over again was embedded devices based on
multi-core processors. If you think of Microsofts entire range of embedded operating systems “ Micro-framework at the low end, Windows CE (the only
real-time OS (RTOS)), and Windows XP; I expect multi-core processors to target systems built for Windows XP Embedded (XPe) first. This is because the
cost of a multi-core processor is higher than a single-core and at least for now more likely in systems that can absorb the roughly $55 cost of an XPe
client. But the interesting twist is that the value of multiple cores is that you can run an RTOS in one or more cores and run XPe in other cores. XPe
would be used to run Windows applications “ say some kind of Human Machine interface (HMI), where the RTOS would run a factory control application
that requires a guarantee of a processors time slice at some frequency that only Windows CE could deliver (or RTOS competitors like WindRivers VxWorks
or a custom Linux solution).

16.12.2005Microsoft Patches Blocked for Some Admins
Microsoft on Monday said it is working on a patch to correct an issue that has rendered some administrators using System Center Configuration Manager
(SCCM) 2007 unable to download and install last week's security updates. On Friday evening, Redmond confirmed what it called "a deployment issue
affecting customers using System Center Configuration Manager 2007 servers with Systems Management Services
2003."
"Our initial
investigation has shown the issue only affects Configuration Manager 2007 customers; no other detection or deployment technology is affected," wrote
Christopher Budd, security response communications lead for Microsoft, in an e-mail on Friday to Redmondmag.com. "Additionally, only customers who
are running Configuration Manager 2007 servers with SMS 2003 clients are affected."
Once dubbed Systems Management Server, SCCM helps
corral components and settings for system administrators who maintain large groups of Windows-based machines. Among the program's chief attributes
is that it enables administrators at a given enterprise to perform patch management, software distribution and operating system deployment in addition
to keeping track of hardware and software inventory. In response to user complaints, on Friday Redmond issued Security Advisory (954474), which offers guidance to
clients and channel partners running the program.
