title: Windows 7 process scheduler and Windows Embedded scheduler
body: <p>What are the differences in the Windows 7 scheduler and <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsembedded/default.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Windows Embedded</a> scheduler ? I last used Windows CE 5.0 (and XP Embedded). As mentioned <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Embedded" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> : "Microsoft has announced that the next version, Windows Embedded Standard 2011, will be based on Windows 7". What components are based on Windows 7, because it also mentions that Windows Embedded Standard is the fully componentized version of Windows XP Professional . There a lot of difference in Windows Xp and Windows 7.
  I like the the User Mode Scheduler (in  Windows 7) ,which provides a new model for high-performance applications to control the execution of threads by allowing applications to schedule, throttle and control the overhead due to blocking system calls.</p>
