Editor's Notes
Used to transfer the apps but not the OS, can work with VHDs and its own imaging format.
This Windows Image File (Install.wif) is what you need to get things started
Each application has its set of base properties that you can encapsulate and each virtual desktop has a collection of settings that you can allow, hide, or configure.
