Yesterday I was in Microsoft Windows Vista Meeting,
and I'll gonna tell you my overview about the new tools they represent there:

1) Windows Vista Better Deployment:
WIM - new file format for images.
XImage - tool for creating such kind of images.
As they represent it there the replacement to others such as: Ghost, MagicIso, Drive Image, etc.
The Highlight is that windows Vista keep in single (Master.WIM) Image the Installation images.
Even when we will install new program (SP, for example) we will Add new Image to our Master single Image.
This will decrease file size, reduce installation time and IMHO, the most significant, it will decrease the needs of stupid guidelines.
WPE/PE - Windows PreInstallation Environment, great tool to configure and diagnose hardware problems(GUI Based). will be used before launching the setup process.

You Can Enjoy the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).
Inside you can find the XImage.exe, WindowsPE etc.
(I didn't try this, yet!, but as everyone out there said it is a must, at least the two tools above.)

2) Windows Better Protection:
Microsoft Client Protection - new product which will help you protect you computer, network, servers, etc.
This tool provide single solution against threats, viruses, hijacks, malicious code, and spy-wares.
you can download a version for your XP in here:

3) Other Cool Tools:
Microsoft USB Flash Drive Manager - Client Side Application which help you create friendly names to your different flash drives, auto-run feature and also backup feature for your files.
IMHO, it seems useless right now, but it is still cool tool.
Microsoft Location Finder - Client Side Application which find your location using your access points, ISP DNS, Subnet etc.
The funny thing is that when introducing this tool it showed us that we located in Dublin while we where sitting in Israel (blame the proxy).
Again, IMHO, there some people in Microsoft which are very bored, I won't use this.

This is introduction, for all those all over the world, that reading my blog: "Yom-Kipur" - is an important day for us (Jewish), this day is dedicated for self criticism. every person(OK, almost everyone) is fasting for one day (for example, this year from Wednesday at 5PM till Thursday at 6PM) while most of us spent the whole day at the synagogue, praying to god to forgive us for all the sins (like coding on Saturday) we done last year.

Yesterday while talking with my atheists friends i got revelation, they all where interested on the result between France to Cyprus (last game at the qualification for Germany 2006) (of course France won), the Israeli team needed Cyprus victory to qualify to the next round.

I was thinking about "Yom-Kipur" War 32 years ago (1973), which start at the day of the Kipur fast, which most of the Israel\Jewish didn't even know it started.

And then felt pride to be Jewish, one special day for thinking about good and wrong, for praying to god.

And for all those atheists, I am pretty sure that if most of the people then ("Yom-Kipur" war) where like you we probably where not here today (losing this game too).

be free, be Jewish!

Hi This is my Technorati Profile
Enjoy it.

Hello all,
I thought about it a lot, should I write my own weblog? Or maybe use an existing?
To write? About what?
which language to choose? (for the programmaholic(i think this is a new word) of you i meant hebrew\english)

finally I decided. . .
I will write about:
programming, .Net, C#, JavaScript/VBScript, VS.Net and its so-so (middling) designer, css, html,
about my secret colleagues, etc.

so, lets the party begin.
