Posted by EDA Geek News Staff in RTOS on Wednesday, April 4, 2007

Microsoft Corp. named BSQUARE its first embedded delivery partner for the Microsoft NXT Initiative. Microsoft NXT is an end-to-end initiative that makes the process of adopting Microsoft technologies faster, easier, and less expensive by providing qualified independent software vendors with funding, expert technical advice and marketing assistance. As a Microsoft embedded delivery partner, BSQUARE will assist embedded device manufacturers that build ISV applications to quickly and efficiently migrate their software applications to Windows Embedded CE, Windows XP Embedded, Windows Server-based products for embedded systems.

BSQUARE will provide engineering services including Architectural Design Sessions, Proof of Concept reviews, and other consulting services. Embedded device makers will also have the opportunity to utilize BSQUARE's products such as its DevKit reference design family or SDIO Hx Architecture. BSQUARE also distributes Microsoft's complete line of Windows Embedded operating systems in North America.

"We are excited to expand the NXT Initiative into the embedded space by including BSQUARE as an NXT delivery partner," said Greg Urquhart, General Manager, ISV Partners at Microsoft Corporation. "BSQUARE will provide qualified embedded device makers access to NXT benefits, and enhance the migration process to Windows Embedded with important engineering services as well as training, products and support."

"BSQUARE has many years of experience helping embedded OEMs move from other operating systems like proprietary operating systems or Linux to Windows Embedded," said Brian Crowley, president and CEO of BSQUARE. "By engaging with BSQUARE up front in the NXT Initiative, embedded device makers will save time and money as they deploy their software on Windows Embedded operating systems."
