During the seminar today, I found that most of the stuff added to SP2 will
probably be of no use to me
Maybe I was half asleep, but this is what I got from it.
Hibernate once resume many is for Disk Overlay and is not recommend for
flash (why?)
Can't a hibernate file be saved one time to flash then protected by RAM EWF,
so then it's read only during boot?
If we Hibernate from the same place each time then who cares if the changes
are lost?
All the huge firewall stuff and other security updates doesn't mean anything
to me since we are Not Hooked to Internet and from what I understand, it's
really huge. I like the ability to configure ports offline but currently
don't need it.
All the new ways to update a field image requires a internet Lan connection
so it's of no use to me, stay with DUA.
Media Player 9 - Nope no need
I was told no additonal support was added for Wireless Ethernet
configuration (besides Bluetooth). I thought MS said they were going to
include a command line utility to help configure adhoc and access points so
we didn't have to bring in all that additional support which makes the image
explode? According to speaker, it is up to the user's application to
configure all this. Currently, if I remember right, I had to bring in
explorer, control panel and network configuration so I could set the access
points and Security Keys, then afterwards, it was all lost on reboot
(Without EWF). Several have mentioned this problem. RegMon, FileMon never
show anything being written after this is configured, saved, and
operational. It's like it's configured in ram then lost on boot. (Again,
No EWF when I was trying to get it working).
Increased Application Compatibilty Mode by Importing complete groups of
components in to assure application runs, then have to remove the un-needed
components? That seems pretty wasteful and does not seem to be the way to
create a small image. Maybe I misunderstood this as well. The idea of
importing complete groups sound promising, if you have tons of space and
need to insure you have All the printer drivers or Graphics drivers....
I like the fact all the QFE's were rolled up, but it sure doesn't appear to
be worth while for us to burn new images everywhere since it SP2 can't be
installed in the field any other way.
Now, if some of Target Designer was fixed or at least some patches would
come out for it that would be real great, but I hear we have to wait until
LongHorn which is another year or two away...
What is your take on all this. Am I way off base with what "I" heard?

When you say "Not Hooked to Internet" did you mean - no
