Windows Embedded for Point of Service is Microsoft's first operating system specifically developed for vertical markets. This operating system and application environment delivers the functionality that retailers demand for point of service (POS) systems. Additionally, the product's design enables partner companies to cost-effectively build and market their POS systems based on the Windows Embedded for Point of Service platform.

Designed to help save point-of-service developers time and money, Windows Embedded for Point of Service is also the first point-of-service operating system platform to provide plug-n-play support for retail device peripherals, including:

• Cash drawers
  
• Receipt printers
  
• Scanners

Windows Embedded for Point of Service-based devices are easy for retailers to install and integrate with current and legacy retail device peripherals into one point-of-service system.
Once you complete your device, you pay no licensing costs until your device ships.
