Intel Thread Building Blocks Support for Windows Embedded Server 2012? - tbb

I want to know whether Intel Thread Building Blocks Support Windows Embedded Server 2012? In Release notes i have checked its written it supports Microsoft* Windows* Server 2012 .But when i am checking difference between Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 for Embedded Systems it is that Server for Embedded is designed for more specific scenarios, specific hardware (appliances), and purchase relationships (OEM channel).I want to know if Intel Thread Building Blocks (TBB) supports Windows server 2012 , is it likely that it will support windows server 2012 for embedded systems?

It depends on how Windows Server 2012 for Embedded is customized but there is high probability that Intel TBB works there.

No it is not supported as the standard Intel Composer 2011 does not supports it.

Will VFP 9.0 and FPD 2.6 run on Windows Server 2019 or 2012?

We're in the process of converting our two FoxPro systems to new technology, but meanwhile we need to upgrade our server and I am trying to find out whether our legacy systems will run there. We'd prefer to go to Windows Server 2019, but using Server 2012 is possible. Our stations are Win 7 or 10 Pro, some 64-bit.
One system is in Visual FoxPro 9 and uses its native DBFs and some DBFs in FPD 2.6 format. Certain graphical and document functions (e.g.: OCR) are performed by calls to LeadTools 12.0. The application also calls Outlook.
The second system is a single-user application in FoxPro for DOS 2.6 run from an .app file. The 32-bit stations run this natively, while the 64-bit stations use the product, vDOS, to allow the 16-bit FPD to run there. The application wants to reside on the server since multiple stations can run it, albeit at different times.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!
Will a Visual FoxPro 9 EXE run on those server operating systems? Yes.
Will a Foxpro For DOS or FoxPro for Windows EXE run on those server operating systems? No. Those flavours of FoxPro are 16-bit, and as such would require a 32-bit version of Windows Server, the last of which was Server 2008.
However I suspect you are not running either of these on the server. You have a shared folder on the server with the DBFs in it, and the executables are running on workstations.
So if you have a 64-bit OS on the workstation then you can only run the Visual FoxPro exectuable directly. If you had a 32-bit OS on the workstation, you can run both Visual FoxPro and FoxPro for DOS\Windows executables.
Your question is really 'can I put the DBFs in a shared folder on those server operating systems and access them from client workstations?', and yes you can.

Building Qt apps for Windows Phone on Linux

Related to this
I'm planning to develop an app for Android using Qt Quick Controls and an Android Emulator. The same set of components is said to work on Windows Phone. Thus I'd like to build the app for Windows Phone as well.
Unfortunately, Qt for Windows Phone is only available for Windows.
I don't own any Windows phone. I'm using a computer running Linux.
Is it possible to build the app for Windows Phone and test it in an Emulator without virtualizing/dual-booting Windows
Well there is Wine. This is what wikipedia says about it;
Wine (short for Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a free and open source compatibility layer software application that aims to allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems. Wine also provides a software library, known as Winelib, against which developers can compile Windows applications to help port them to Unix-like systems.
You can find more info about Wine here; https://www.winehq.org/
I haven't tried it before but since it says "allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems," I'm thinking it should work.
This is your only option. If it doesn't work, then i guess you should think about running windows on virtual machine or dual booting with windows. Good luck!

Difference between Windows Embedded Compact 2013 and Windows Embedded 8

I have some quires regarding WIN CE.
Is there any difference between Windows Compact Embedded and Windows Embedded edition?
In the website i saw a new version of WIN CE, WIN CE 2013. Is win CE 2013 and Win embedded 8 the same. What are the differences?
We are planning to use this in a hand held device with industrial standards where real time operation is not necessary. For the mentioned application which is the best, Win CE 2013 or Windows Embedded 8?
Windows Embedded 8 is a stripped down version of Windows 8, Windows Embedded Compact 2013 is a real time OS.
As for which os is the best we needed a realtime os for our industrial application and it has been a pain in the ass, if you don't need a realtime os then I would go with embedded.

can I run Windows Embedded CE 6.0 on a regular PC?

As i just need the hard RT capabilities, can I install and run Windows Embedded CE 6.0 on a regular PC ? (dell or so ?), and UDP out some data ?
You can install Windows CE in a PC, but you would need to create your own image. See this tutorial in MSDN. Also google for CEPC.
Finally visit Mike Hall's blog. I remember reading a related article there, but I can't find it now. Anyhow, this blog is a great resource for Windows Embedded.
(From working with Windows CE 5.0, so there may be some differences, YMMV.)
You should be able to run Windows CE both in an emulator and installed on the device itself as the host operating system.
In the first case all you need is an emulator, which is provided with the development kit and in a more expensive version of Visual Studio. This will run the OS fine, albeit a bit slow depending on the architecture you choose to build the Guest OS for.
In the second case you will actually need to find or write drivers for the hardware that you want to run on and use. This will require the Platform Builder application (I believe it's a plugin to Visual Studio now) and knowledge of the hardware that you are running on. Windows CE itself does support x86 processors, although I don't remember if it supports all x86 processors (instruction sets) or just 486's.
If you want to go down the second route you also may be able to get an Intel Atom or AMD Geode board support package (BSP) which will help you develop the drivers.
