Which system for my application ?

 

With this table we want to provide a brief comparison of the functions of the different target systems. Our VisiWinNET Professional and VisiWinNET Smart development systems can generate applications for all target systems.
As certainly everybody will understand all Embedded or Compact systems are always only sub-items of a full system.
A Windows CE system for example can because of the operating system functions and restricted storage never achieve the performance of a full Windows XP system with hard disc and high-performance CPU.
