Windows Embedded POSReady 7: Windows 7 with mainstream support still up and running

The WinEP7 is basically a variant of Win7 with a mainsteam support until October 11, 2016, unlike Win7 which its mainstream support ended last year (on January 13, 2015 to be exact). This is because WinEP7 was released in 2011 while Win7 was released in 2009.

I know that the support will end in around six months, but still. Mainstream updates are sometimes released every months, so you'll probably get some of the feature updates.

This OS was designed for point of service PCs and not for home PC users. This isn't a retail product so you won't be able to find it anywhere on retail stores.

Unfortunately this OS's evaluation copy isn't available on Microsoft's site yet, but I've found an ISO file of it on the interweb. From the outside this looks no different to the regular Win7, but you can get more updates in this OS due to its longer mainstream support. Daz Loader doesn't work here, due to different licensing, but Microsoft Toolkit works.

TBH I also never use automatic updates anyway since I'm using USB tethering to connect to the interweb every time, and it would probably consume too much data, so it's not worth replacing my Win7 to this.
