    Microsoft Modular Windows

    Modular Windows is a special version of Microsoft Windows 3.1, designed to run on the Tandy Video Information System (VIS). Microsoft intended Modular Windows to be an embedded operating system for various devices, especially those designed to be connected to televisions. However, the VIS is the only known product that actually used this Windows version. It has been claimed that Microsoft created a new, incompatible version of Modular Windows ("1.1") shortly after the VIS shipped. No products are known to have actually used Modular Windows 1.1

      While Modular Windows was discontinued, other modular, embedded versions of Windows were later released. Some examples are Windows CE(which was also released for the Dreamcast) and Windows XP Embedded.
