Introduced in 1997, WEP was found to be very inadequate and was superseded by WPA, WPA2 and 802.11i. ) program, says in Microsoft's Windows Embedded Resource Guide: "With the introduction of the Microsoft Windows Embedded family of products, Microsoft is expanding the number of choices for developers of embedded solutions. The family of products provides a set of modern, powerful 32-bit operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. with a number of unique advantages not found in other embedded operating system An operating system used in special-purpose applications (embedded systems). Embedded operating systems are typically very compact and often designed for real time operations.
