Feature set is an operating system functionality area Windows Media Player Internet Explorer Network security

Feature set is composed of 1 or more packages

Feature Sets And Packages

Internet Explorer 8

Feature set

Advanced rendering, graphics and multimedia

Internet Explorer Engine Package

MSHTML rendering and editing

Windows Internet APIInternet Explorer Core Package

The basic browser application

Internet Explorer Basic Package

Additional plug-ins to browser (hotmail, feeds, rating, administration kit)

Internet Explorer Accessories Package

Order of 60 feature sets Few hundred packages

Each package is signed and serviceable by Microsoft

Configurable settings for each package in the feature set

Binaries and resources in the package can not be removed post install Removed resources can come back through servicing

Feature packages can be installed on the image post-build

Feature Sets And Packages

Driver packages are created based on driver INF Printer drivers are split further based on manufacturer About 600 packages inbox

Language-neutral Language packages consist

of MUI resources and fonts Used for localizing operating system image ENG, JPN, Chin-traditional, Chin-simple,

GER, ITL, FRE, SPN Target is parity with Windows 7

Language and driver packages can be installed post build
