Interesting, I was wondering when Microsoft would include the recently purchased technologies of WinInternals/SysInternals into the Windows product.
Looks like the new “Windows RE Notes” blog details the upcoming components, though there is only an introductory post at this time. Based on Windows PE, Windows RE will provide a recovery environment for Windows installations that have gone sour.
Neat stuff, and if this is based on some WinInternals technology, I wouldn’t be surprised. This will be an awesome tool for system administrators and others who support desktop and server OS installations. Check out at the link below.

Have you been waiting for a chance to try out Windows Vista? Missed out on the Beta 2 download? Well, now’s your chance!
Microsoft has opened up the Customer Preview Program for anyone to download and test Vista. If you participated in the Windows XP CPP many years ago, this is the same program.
The download is huge, and MSFN has some more information at the link below.

Have you been testing IE7? Still on Beta 2 or 3?
Today Microsoft released IE 7 Release Candidate 1 (RC1). Since beta 3 was feature complete, RC1 doesn’t bring new features, but it will have some refinements over the previous release.
BetaNews has an article on the latest release. Download at the link below!

MSFN is reporting that MS confirmed the online storage service at a blogger’s breakfast in Sydney, Australia.
Speaking at a blogger’s breakfast prior to the opening of Tech.Ed in Sydney, Microsoft Australia technical specialist John Hodgson said that the basic Live Drive was likely to include around 2G of storage for free. Additional storage capacity would be available for purchase, though pricing schemes and final release dates haven’t been announced.
It’d be nice if this were true, guess we’ll wait this one out to see.
