From FAQ

What is "Drop and Play" technology?
"Drop & Play" is a patented mechanism that allows a DISCover® console to emulate the behavior of a videogame console. DISCover® accomplishes this by recognizing a PC title and automatically installing and playing the game. No other home entertainment system can play all the games and interactive multimedia titles available for a PC while requiring no computer knowledge to operate.

It seems there's a beef-up 'autoplay' and games 'slipstream' install database...

The current Windows CE 4.x(X86 Edition) doesn’t have the necessary infrastructure to run NT5.x titles. (Recalling)Windows CE 4.x (X86 Edition) virtual machine is included with MS Studio .NET 2003.

Does it hide the BSOD feature, also?

Probably not; unless it has "auto reboot after a BSOD" featured turned off.

Is it immune from Virus, Trojans, and Worms?

Major OSes are not immune against such things.
