OT - Windows embedded standard 7

[Marc Vanzegbroeck]

Hello,

Does anyone run a FWH-application on a Thinclient-PC with Windows embedded standard 7?
What is the difference vs a normal Win7 PC.

I want to buy it for a client that run a application of me in a store. I want to use it as cash register.
Now the use a 'normal PC', but the only think the use it for is for my application that is installed on a server.
I never use something like that. Can I use it as a 'normal' PC that use a MySQL on a server?

Thanks

[Antonio Linares]
