At the first look their is no difference from the users point of view which hardware and which operating system is used but....
x86 hardware gives very good value for low money (compared to an embedded system with only xxx Mhz used in automotive infotainment systems by Alpine, Blaupunkt, ...) same goes for windows/linux.
and we have own ideas here, we don't accept closed systems. So we need a development evironment like Visual Studio.
Wanna pay xxxxx$ for a blahblahsuite for an embedded system ?
And we need open interfaces like provided by Streetdeck and Centrafuse and also by Microsoft (if we install a driver for additional hardware we connect to our systems)
Alpine and Blaupunkt take those embedded hardware crap because it was done decades ago too and those companies are slow dinosaurs.
At that time x86 systems were too slow for multimedia contents - but this has changed.
I would never try to sell "CAR-PC's" this is a crap word...

Sorry I'm really finding it hard to understand what you are talking about. This system is quite interesting to me but you are not making this thread an easy read. Can you try and simplify your questions please?
