@mudkip TBH, I'd rather use some *unofficial #Windows7 #SP2 or #WindowsXP #SP4 builds based off #WindowsEmbedded security patches...

• Cuz everything after #Wondows8.x is just irredeemable garbage!

@spz @vriesk @bsdphk At least this will safe #WindowsEmbedded from obscurity, they will be able to provide their customers with some insurance.

I always find something attractive in warehouse computers and PoS terminals: these are machines built to last & get the job done. This Motorola/Symbol MC65x is super grippy and tactile. Another combination of OS and hardware design added to my collection.

@adamhill well, #WindowsCE was superseded by #WindowsEmbedded (Which is based on the same #NT Kernel and Tools as the #Desktop Versions), #Windows #Enterprise #LTSC Edition and #Windows10IoT...

Needless to say #WindowsMobile.died for good, and I hope #WindowsServer, #Windows10, #Windows11 and #MicrosoftOffice will die out sooner than later and be replaced by good #Linix distros lile @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS / #Ubuntu...

@arichtman @dashdsrdash @ubuntu @bunsenlabs @tails

And if you want to setup some public #GuestComputer consider #PorteusKiosk as a nifty option that (like #BunsenLabs can) runs entirely off #RAM and only reads it's data like #Config.

Tho you may need to configure #Porteus #Kiosk first (tho it's much easier than #WindowsEmbedded)...

Meanwhile on the SB 405 near Hollywood Casino in Southern California...
