Microsoft will start allowing developers to preview Windows 8 Embedded in the first quarter of next year, with plans to eventually release its embedded computing products in the quarters following the Windows 8 desktop version launch.



From Computerworld:

The next version of Windows Embedded Enterprise will release within one quarter after Window 8 becomes available, said Ben Smith, director of program management for Microsoft's Windows Embedded business, during a news briefing last week. Windows Embedded Standard will release within three quarters of the Window 8 launch, he said.

Microsoft's Windows 8 desktop version is expected to be released some time in 2012.
