MS Visual C++ 4.0 embedded vs. MS Visual Studio .NET embedded ?

[Wolfgang Kaml]

I am still trying to figure out, which development tool will be the right
one for me to choose, considering that ...

- the application will be running on a slim version of PC board
- the application should be able to handle multiple audio file output (small
files) in parallel (multi channel streaming)
- the application has not need for networking at all
- neither the application nor the OS have a need for security
- the footprint of the OS should be kept small
- the application will act as a kinda "realtime" audio & video feedback
(with animations) of what is going on with some external hardware components
through sensors, etc.
- the application will allow user imput to change
- the application shall be responsive, but does not have to be real-time

It sound's like Visual Studio .NET has a framework which will allow for easy
audio and video output, as well as tools which can be used to layout
controls and buttons, but the application might not be as slick as if it
would be developed with embedded Visual C++ 4.0. I am wondering though of
how much the saving in performance might be, if the app will run on a PC
board anyways?

Also, can Windows XP embedded be trimmed to not load security and networking
features to keep the footprint small? I would expect the security to be
quiet a big portion of the product.

Thank's for all of your constructive contributions!

eVC 4 is ONLY for Windows CE and cannot be used for Windows XP. Visual
Studio.NET can be used to create managed, unmanaged and "hybrid"
applications for XP Embedded - same as the desktop
