Windows 7 Migration from Windows XP

Jeff Alexander: Windows 7 has some great tools for migration from previous operating systems. Some that come to mind are Deployment Imaging and Service Management (DISM), mounting VHDs natively in the operating system and User State Migration. But one of the best features in my opinion and many of my mates in the community is the ability to boot natively to a VHD. This gives you flexibility in your migration scenarios and is one way you can preserve your settings from the previous OS installation.



Dugie who is based in Brisbane has done a great article on how to go from having Windows XP installed to having Windows 7 installed in the primary partition with Windows XP encapsulated into a VHD.  This can then be mounted in the OS and used later if needed in something like Virtual PC...

Windows 7 Pre-Beta Build Leaked

"Oops!"

A build being demoed at WinHEC China this week, build 6956, was leaked by a show attendee, but in an unusual fashion, taking advantage of a new feature in Windows 7.

The attendee managed to clone the demo machine's hard drive into a VHD file, a virtual hard drive format that is fully supported in Windows 7. He then moved the image onto his portable drive and walked away from the booth, never caught by any Microsoft employee or security.

Since Microsoft will probably not use a GPO to disable VHD creation on demo machines (it is a new feature, after all), it will be interesting to see if future builds are leaked in the same routine. It's surprising that copying files to removable disks wasn't disabled on these machines as the ones at PDC were.
