About this tag
The pos ready tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Microsoft's Windows POSReady operating system, a specialized version of Windows designed for point-of-service terminals and embedded systems. Content includes using registry tweaks to make older Windows versions like XP appear as POSReady 2009 to continue receiving security updates, as well as hardware announcements such as Tyco Electronics Elo TouchSystems all-in-one touchcomputers shipping with Windows POSReady 2009. The tag is relevant for users exploring extended update options for legacy Windows systems and for those working with retail or touchscreen hardware that relies on POSReady.
The security updates for Vista are also for Windows Server 2008. Windows Server 2008 will continue to get those updates until 2020 (edit: this is incorrect as Neemobeer points out below).
You can make a simple registry change in Windows XP so that windows updates thinks it is Windows POS Ready...
