Goal and Strategy for Interim WinPEGoal and Strategy for Interim WinPE

Goal: Develop a version of WinPE that provides additional support requested by partners to allow deployment within factories thus reducing the cost and time factors.

Strategy: Deliver an interim release version of WinPE to allow testing and adoption within the factory prior to Longhorn OS and OPK releases

Interim Windows Preinstallation EnvironmentInterim Windows Preinstallation Environment

• Windows PE is a minimal Windows system that provides limited services based on the Windows XP Professional and the Windows Server™ 2003 kernels Provides the minimal set of features required to

run Windows Setup, access and install operating systems from the network, script basic repetitive tasks, and validate hardware

Includes features and capabilities that eliminate dependencies on MS-DOS-based tools (such as test and diagnostics tools), and provides an infrastructure within Windows PE to install images and perform required tasks in the factory
