Techradar posted a story that Dell OEM Solutions has struck a deal with Microsoft for the licensing of specialised Windows Embedded products

It effectively gives Dell a fast track on developing systems that, while using Microsoft software, are running in closed environments rather than connecting to the internet.Dermot O'Connell, Executive Director for OEM Solutions EMEA at Dell, told TRPro that it would enable the company to develop products without having to arrange individual licensing deals of operating systems each time. It could be used for the likes of search appliances, digital signage and high end industrial equipment, but also for some more common products such as network attached storage boxes.
