In this context Microsoft underscored the fact that the trial version made available is designed exclusively to offer a test drive. Windows XP Embedded SP2 Evaluation Edition is the only version of an embedded Windows operating system from Microsoft offered as a free trial download. Microsoft failed to be equally generous with the Business or Ultimate editions of Windows Vista for Embedded Systems. Although the Redmond company is also offering Embedded versions of its latest operating system, Windows Vista, a free test drive edition is not available in this case. The fact of the matter is that Windows XP Embedded SP2 Evaluation Edition is worth no less than 120-days of free trial since the moment of the deployment.
Microsoft is offering free downloads of Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 2.
