Wechsler was formerly an embedded partner manager for Microsoft, according to his MVP Profile on the Microsoft website. He later left to found his own company, Wechsler Consulting.

A particular focus of the chat will be Hibernate Once Resume Many (HORM), as well as servicing and manageability questions related to XPe, Program Manager Lynda Allen writes in this post on the XPe Team's blog. However, she adds, any other questions about tools and technologies related to XPe will be welcome also, since "we will have lots of the product team on board."

HORM is a mechanism for quickly rebooting the same XPe image any number of times, according to Microsoft. In this respect, it is fundamentally different from hibernation as used in laptops, where the hibernated image doesn't persist across reboots. In 2006, Wechsler Consulting released a tool called HORM Manager Pro, pictured below, which can turn HORM on and off automatically and provides other features.
