        Microsoft's MSDN developer website has published a transcript of the Windows XP Embedded (XPe) online "chat" held on August 11. In the chat, 11 different Microsoft "XPe experts" were available to answer developers' questions relating to Windows XP Embedded.




        Questions discussed in the transcript include:
        • Is Windows XP Embedded the only Microsoft OS that can be remote-booted via PXE?

        • What is USB boot?

        • I was working on a lab a few weeks back using LXPECMD and I noticed that the path to the rsp file could not contain spaces. If I gave a path like "c:\program files\my labs\lab5\lab_sample.rsp" the command would fail. However "c:\progra~1\my labs\lab5\lab_sample.rsp" would work ok. Is this a problem with my development environment?

        • I've got an SDI file that I'm happy with and boots correctly. After a while, I would like to add software to it. Do you have any tools or procedure to do this?

        • Is there an initiative to provide an OPK for Windows XPe?

        • What is the standard way to take what Target Designer spits out, configure your options on real hardware, and then repackage for putting on other hardware instances?

        • Is there a way builds can be sped up by using all the cores on a dual-CPU system?

        • Can I boot XP Embedded from a USB drive, then use it to access a RAID 5 disk array?

        • Can you configure service or file ACLs from Target Designer?

        • What is the File-Based Write Filter (FBWF)?
        To learn the answers to these and other questions, read the complete chat transcript here.
