Windows 7 Development Features

20 October 2009 12:53 by Administrator

Yesterday I went to the Windows 7 Launch event in Arnhem and I learned about some new “development” features for Windows 7:

  • Problem Steps Recorder (psr.exe), a little tool to record user actions and save these in a zipfile. Very usefull for testing and bug reports but can also be used for writing documentation like howto’s.
  • Boot from VHD. It’s now possible to boot from a Virtual Hard Disk. The advantage is that you can use the maximum performance of your PC resources. So it should be faster than using Virtual PC.
  • The Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft .NET can be used from the .NET environment to use Windows 7 features from .NET (e.g. Jumplists,  task dialogs, progress bar and much more).
