Microsoft Unveils Windows Embedded R&D Center in China
Microsoft Corp has launched its first Windows Embedded regional development center in Asia. This new facility, the Microsoft Embedded Systems Development Center (MESDC), will support global product development and drive smart, connected, service-oriented device development.
Located within the Microsoft Advanced Technology Center (ATC), part of the Microsoft China Research & Development Group (CRD) in Beijing, China, the MESDC is a significant part of the US$75 million global investment in R&D that the Windows Embedded business is making this fiscal year.
The MESDC will support global product R&D, drive development of innovative features of Microsoft's embedded operating systems, and accelerate collaboration between the US-based Microsoft product groups and their counterparts in the ATC. In addition, the MESDC will support the needs of the active windows embedded partner ecosystem in China by engaging with OEMs in embedded systems to showcase high visibility embedded systems projects that accelerate the development of connected consumer devices.
Microsoft has started recruiting embedded systems engineers for the MESDC. By the end of 2008, the MESDC will have up to 15 engineers working closely with the Windows Embedded product development team in Redmond, Washington.
