Microsoft Five Embedded

Microsoft Five Embedded is an operating system developed by Microsoft for the very early PowerPC Embedded chips and and Motorola chips. It's goal was to be very small and compact like similar linux but, catch the market before linux's full release in 2004. By 2007 the operating system's market share had reached a fall of 0.2% users still using the operating system compared to 1998-2001 with about 86% to 66%.

Development
Around, early as of 1995 Microsoft wanted to shift gears and, focus on the consumer laptops market while maintaining the embedded consumer marketing. As well, within the half of that 50% percent which is enough to gain actual shares on it's operating system. So, then the project began as late as December of 1996 being codenamed for it's development as Mountain Blue. Microsoft then, faced a delay within a problem in the project that was supposed to launch in January of 1997. But, during development the members where building the operating system's scrapped kernel but, this time no longer continuing development on the monolithic kernel. This time, the kernel was called Pre-Hybrid which is later used a lot on Windows 6 since it was stable. The Pre-Hybrid had a broken flaw it meant that the desktop would glitch out randomly 3 seconds. It was later fixed and patched and was released on January 1, 1998.

2007 disaster patch
Since, then during it's development the Pre-Hybrid kernel had a flaw it was patched and released on January 1, 1998. But, another flaw was discovered by an intern employee at Microsoft around late 2006. This flaw was not fixable similar to the older bug which was just how the desktop glitches out every 3 seconds. This flaw actually messed up the date and preventing it from going any further than December 31, 2006 which means if passed that date the operating system will just boot loop and, if unlucky you'll get a black screen of death which is very rare happening on this operating system resulting 3.1 Million computers on the network with this operating system to have it unpatched and unsafe security hacks happening. So, on January 16, 2007 Microsoft responded with a patch which is Service Pack 4 it included extending the system date to March 19, 2007. More security was put in place for this operating system with the patch itself.
