Windows Embedded for Point of Service

Windows Embedded for Point of Service is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT and Windows Embedded Industry family based on Windows XP Embedded.

Facts
Based on Windows XP with SP2 and designed for use in Point of Service situations, WEPOS expanded Microsoft's Windows Embedded family of products. It was the first version of Windows Embedded that could use the Windows Update Agent to update an installed and deployed image. Service Pack 3 (SP3) for WEPOS was released on October 8, 2008. When the new Microsoft Lifecycle Support policy for Internet Explorer went into effect on January 12, 2016, IE6 support was dropped from not only WEPOS, but all other supported platforms. WEPOS was also the last supported platform for IE7 after this date. Windows Embedded for Point of Service was released on May 24, 2005.
