Hi!
My system is a Mini-ITX based control box for an industrial system.
I have a question regarding the Windows XP Embedded license sticker.
Where do i have to put it? Are there any special rules from MS?
Is it ok to just put it inside on the mainboard or must it be visible
from
outside the box ( sticked on backside of the housing, for example )?

You might want to ask your MS distributor about sticker location. Typically,
you place it on the hard drive, but the rules may have changed.

We put our sticker on the metal chassis next to our main board.
We do this on the grounds that that peice of metal is the only part that
can't fail.............
The processor can fail, the hard disk can fail, the main board can fail.
I think i'm going to become a metal worker. Then I won't have to calculate
MTBF figures and constantly change my designs because some chip or other
isn't made any more......
