The Windows XP Embedded footprint varies depending on the features and services you choose for your design, as well as the specific applications you add to it. Windows XP Embedded will provide starting configurations that help optimize a footprint by providing the lowest level of operating system services required to support various types of designs. Estimates of these configurations begin at 5 MB for extremely limited function devices, and go up from there as you add features and services to your configuration. For example, configurations that include full Win32 support as well as rich features and services such as authentication, graphical user interface and multimedia can increase your footprint significantly.
