Announcing "Feature Pack 2007" for XP Embedded - the team has been extremely busy the last 4 months working on a feature pack for XP Embedded and we're just about ready to loop you into what we've been doing by giving you early access to the product in the form of a Technology Preview (not quite a Beta). Among our biggest goals in this Feature Pack are to improve the developer's experience and to enable new capabilities and Microsoft technologies on your embedded device.

XPe is a low profile componentized version of XP Pro. It is designed for use in embedded devices such as Thin Clients, Kiosks etc. It is fully featured unlike Windows CE except it is not a Real Time OS like CE is.
