FSX on Windows XP Embedded?

[Guest cbuchner1]

It seems that people are going great lengths to optimize their systems for use in FSX, tweaking everything, reducing background services and startup items etc..So the logical question is: Why not use a reduced operating system in the first place? Windows XP embedded 120 day trial kits are available for free from Microsoft.So I`ve decided to take the plunge and order such a kit with the express goal of testing if and whether FSX will run on it. I will keep you posted!If this works, it will be a different question whether or not licenses for a full XP embedded version are affordable enough to make this worthwhile.Christian

XBOX as a future platform for FS has been discussed a lot here at avsim, which would be a natural choice if you wanna reduce hardware complexity and decrease the need for support. Not to mention reduced time to build FS.No thanks.Ulf B

Putting Windows XP Embedded on a regular PC I think would be a violation of it's EULA."Let me help you out. You're cleared to taxi any way you can to any runway you see."
