Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 build 282

Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 build 282 is the official RTM build of Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 based on Windows XP Service Pack 3. This build also includes Windows Media Player 11 and Internet Explorer 7, alongside the Embedded theme that replaces Luna. It also lacks many components of Windows XP, such as Paint, Games, and Windows Product Activation.

Setup experience
Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 has a setup interface similar to that seen in Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, which also uses a Preinstallation Environment. However, the appearance of the Setup wizard is different and the background is dark blue instead of black. Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 also uses the First Boot Agent at the end of the installation.

Graphical user interface
Unlike WinFLP, Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 displays Windows XP's set of icons on first boot if the screen's color quality is set to 16-bit (although some small imperfections can be seen on them). As stated above, the Embedded window scheme is available in replacement of Luna and it is available in 3 themes with the same wallpaper, POSReady, POSReady (Small Logo), and POSReady (Large Logo), and the only difference in them is the logo (in the first, there's no logo, the second is the default and includes a small banner on the upper right corner of the screen, and the third includes a larger version of the banner on the center of the screen).

Winver uses a Windows flag similar to that seen in Windows Vista and Windows 7 instead of the white flag used in WinFLP, and the logon prompt does not have the Ctrl+Alt+Del requirement enabled by default.

Touch Screen Keyboard
One of the optional components that can be installed during Setup is the Touch Screen Keyboard, which is another version of the On-Screen Keyboard designed for use on touch screens. If installed, it will show on both the XP welcome screen and the classic logon prompt.

Bugs and quirks

 * This version of Windows contains few fonts and as a result, the Start Button would use different fonts instead of the one used in XP.
 * Standard user accounts can't be created through Control Panel, and  must be used instead.
 * Help and Support is partially broken: the home screen displays properly, but it identifies itself as Windows XP Professional and topics can't show their content and links.
 * The Accessibility Control Panel is mostly a placeholder in this version since no accessibility tools are available, and trying to open the Accessibility Wizard, Magnifier and On-Screen Keyboard will result in an "Windows couldn't find the file" error, while trying to open high-contrast settings does nothing.
 * The visual style is set to Luna in the logon screen, which is not actually included in the operating system, so it will result using the Windows Classic visual style instead.
