It was my New Years Resolution that I’d do an average of 2 blog posts per week this year.  So far, I haven’t been doing a very good job of that, but I think I have a good excuse.  I’ve been very busy with preparing to release a new tool, and now, I can finally announce it.

Fine citizens of the Virtualization Nation: I present to you the Windows® Image to Virtual Hard Disk Converter, or WIM2VHD as I like to call it.

WIM2VHD is a tool that will create a bootable VHD from a specified Windows 7 or 2008 R2 WIM image (like the INSTALL.WIM file that ships on the installation DVDs) without having to run Windows Setup.  That means that you can a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine up and running much, much faster.

You can use these VHDs in Virtual PC, Virtual Server, Hyper-V, and … some other things, too.  We’ll talk more about that later.

You can get WIM2VHD here. 

I’ve done my best at creating some good documentation for WIM2VHD, which is available from the link above.  Please make sure that you read the docs.  If you have any questions, feel free to start a discussion thread at the WIM2VHD site.

Here’s a video I made introducing WIM2VHD, and showing it in action.  More are one the way.

Please be aware, however, that while the underlying process of creating the VHDs is supported by Microsoft, WIM2VHD is not.

Here is a link by Volkan to some detailed information about the new Federated Search Provider capabilities. For persons who have data stored on multiple devices, Windows 7 Search is greatly improved through a new feature called Search Federation, which creates deeper connections with web services while fully taking advantage of familiar facilities built into Windows. Based on OpenSearch and the RSS format Search Federation allows you to easily add a location; these include multiple PCs, external hard drives, servers and even websites that you can search from within Windows.

You can download the Teching It Easy Search Provider HERE

Thanks to John Tweedale, you can find additional search providers for popular technology sites here

Talking about Windows 7 Federated Search Provider Implementer's Guide

Windows 7 introduces support for search federation to remote data stores using OpenSearch technologies. Federated search enables users to search remote data sources from within Windows Explorer and to interact with that remote data from within Windows Explorer.

This document describes how to build a web-based data source that can be searched using Windows federated search. Following the best practices described here, you can enable rich integration of your remote data sources with Windows Explorer without having to write or deploy Windows client-side code.

Windows 7 federated search supports the following standards:

For item data:

• RSS 2.0, 1.0, 0.91 & 0.92
• Atom 0.3 & 1.0
• MediaRSS content and thumbnail elements

For connection information:

• OpenSearch 1.1

Authentication:

• NTLM
• Kerberos
• Basic (only over https)
• plus any other Security Support Providers installed on the client and the server hosting the web service

The one thing I missed with Server Core was PowerShell.  While you can run PowerShell cmdlets and scripts remotely, at times it would have been nice to run it locally.  The reason PowerShell was not included was due to the lack of .NET in Server Core.  That changes in R2.

Windows Server Core 2008 R2 includes a subset of .NET which allows PowerShell, as well as other components like ASP.NET.  Specifically Server Core R2 includes:

• .NET 2.0
• .NET 3.0 and 3.5

• Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)
• Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
• Language Integrated Query (LINQ)

Support for WoW64 if you are running 32 bit applications

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) isn’t included but then with no GUI in Server Core it doesn’t really matter much.

There are a few commands you need to know to get it working in R2.

Install .NET 3.0 and 3.5

Start /w ocsetup NetFx3-ServerCore

Enable 32 bit support, run the above, then

Start /w ocsetup ServerCore-WOW64

 Start /w ocsetup NetFx3-ServerCore-WOW64

Enable PowerShell

Start /w ocsetup MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell

 

Touch Screen technology is obviously the new craze as far as providing an alternative interface in the world of PC computing. One day, they may even replace the standard keyboards or mice, two PC components that are needed to enjoy the privileges of using a PC.

At the moment, the real issue is cost. Technology comes with a price and apparently this is one aspect that is the stumbling block of consumers who want to make the jump to new technology. Actually that has always been the case. As far as which technology to use, here is one design that is bound to point us towards that concrete proof of PC interface shifts.

Proposed to be sold as a stand-alone unit the HP LiM (Less is More) concept is set to feature a 19? transparent touch OLED screen along with a wireless keyboard. The touch screen slides down to create a more ergonomic touch experience and easy navigation. It also features a virtual trackpad thus cutting down on mouse costs.

It does seem enticing to look forward to promising tomorrows. But the matter of cost is also another thing to consider. During these times of economic recession, all we can do is wait for economies to improve. If not, all of these will remain concepts and restricted to people who can really afford them.
