XPe or DeTOS?

If you are new to Thin Clients, choosing the right client operating system can sometimes be difficult. Below is a quick summary to help you understand the differences.

Devon IT products can ship with one of two types of operating system. Windows XP Embedded/Windows Embedded Standard (XPe) or the Devon Terminal Operating System (DeTOS).

XPe	DeTOS
Similar to XP: Users are familiar with the UI and don’t need to be retrained Applications that run on XP can run on XPe Devices with an XP driver can be used with XPe	Simple: One unified image includes all you need: remote desktop clients all mainstream Connection Broker clients web browser Java client and more
More secure than XP because: It is locked down (using RAM disk and write filter) It can be centrally managed (remote upgrades, configuration, reimaging, etc) using Devon’s management software	Low touch: You only need to upgrade when new features are required. Thin Clients can be centrally managed and upgraded with Devon management software
More expensive than DeTOS because: Microsoft license costs Requires more resources than DeTOS
Recommended if you need to run a local application that doesn’t run on Linux (VPN Client, Internet Explorer and Active X controls, etc)
