May 1, 2006 -- NS BASIC Corporation today announced support for Windows XP Embedded systems, using its NS Basic/Desktop development tool.

"Leveraging our experience developing for Windows CE, NS Basic/Desktop creates small, memory efficient applications which are well suited for an embedded environment." said George Henne, President of NS BASIC Corporation.
