That's good news Ascii !

Very nice !

As I said, the tool is Dynamic and we'll be able to add things to it.

And of course your contribution to the tool is essential, since it all started of from your work Ascii.

So we all owe you one ! TY Ascii.

I'm doing a fresh Windows Server 2008 R2 installation later today, so I would gladly try out the BETA if you need some feedback on it?

Doesn't really matter if things aren't working as intended as I've got the whole holiday season to do another installation if needed.

Hi !

You can try this out :

It works too.

We are not done yet with the Beta release as we have some things to fix still.

I've only one big big wish: Windows Virtual PC on "Foundation". Via MSU "camouflage" (so it think it will be installed on Seven) or like all your other workarounds: Copy, Paste and running .reg files ...

Some extra news !

We're on 0.8 RC version.

We are just moving some thing around it the tool and reorganizing some stuff.

We hope to be able to get a working version for Christmas on here.

LOL McS ! We have not started to look in XPMode. I honestly do not know whether we will take a look at it since Vmware does the same job better. That's my opinion.

But I'll ask the devs to take a look at it.....

I really like the clean, rational, well organized interface that follows Microsoft's design conventions! Does your SuperFetch feature patch the Kernel or something to get it working?

You guys have so much talent an dknowledge of Windows System Internals at work, have you considered taking this tool in the other direction as well toward removing/uninstalling features, bloat etc. from Server 2008 R2?

Impressive work, don't hurry the versions! I'm sure you're excited to get people to try it, but you'll have more attention then you know what to do with when you release!

Hi hoak !

Your question on Superfetch is very interesting.

Secr9tos took R2 kernel to pieces to explore it and it results that the function is there but "hidden/removed" by M$.

It looks like that the code itself seems to be "removed/hidden" but in fact it gets invoked like it would be on Windows 7.

So all what we did is to get it working nothing more.

We did not mod the kernel as that could cause security issues and instability in the system, and we do not want that.

In what refers to components removal like in vLite or RT Server Tool from Ben, I did mention that I tested R2 "Light" releases and made some with those tools and I was not very pleased on the results.

I noticed when making some W7/R2 "Light" releases that removing components can be a problem at one moment or the other.

But we can always think about it in the future.
