New application programming interfaces available for developing with Windows 7 for Embedded Systems include.NET Framework Version 4.0, which consists of a class library and Common Language Runtime and includes major enhancements such as: Provides a unified framework for building applications and high-fidelity experiences that blend together application UI, documents, and media content, while exploiting the full power of the computer. This user interface subsystem and framework is based on vector graphics, which makes use of 3D computer graphics hardware and Direct3D technologies. It is the successor to Windows Forms. Version 4.0 adds support for Multi Touch and other new controls of Windows 7, such as the Ribbon bar for Applications. The .NET Framework 4 introduces a new programming model for writing multithreaded and asynchronous code that greatly simplifies the work of application and library developers. The new model enables developers to write efficient, fine-grained, and scalable parallel code in a natural idiom without having to work directly with threads or the thread pool. The new Parallel and Task classes and other related types support this new model. Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), which is a parallel implementation of LINQ to Objects, enables similar functionality through declarative syntax.
VHD Mode - Built into Windows 7 Ultimate for Embedded Systems is support for VHD boot that allows OEMs to easily deploy new complete OS+Application Images to their devices
Virtual XP Mode - The Virtual Windows XP mode enables OEMs to run legacy application inside a virtual XP environment, making use of the latest hardware technologies without rewriting existing and certified applications
