File reads worked fine: we were able to see what was on the disk and look at some specific files. They plugged an unencrypted 'user' drive in to demonstrate this capability. One particularly interesting constraint they demonstrated was the ability to restrict writes to encrypted thumb drives only. System administrators can limit the use of encryption on removable disks in a number of ways. Like most features, Microsoft has integrated this into its group policy tools. Given my propensity for losing thumb drives, this ability can't come soon enough. Windows 7's BitLocker will finally support the encryption of removable disks. With SP1, Microsoft improved the BitLocker feature by allowing encryption of any internal drive. Vista RTM introduced a system drive encryption feature dubbed BitLocker. One particularly interesting, though somewhat scary, implication of this is that IT staff can send a USB key out to remote users and let them reimage their own machines.

They plugged a USB key into the running Vista machine, triggered the re-image process, and thirty minutes later we were looking at a functional Windows 7 installation with that same 30GB. They demonstrated with a Vista machine containing 30GB of unspecified user data (we suspect the files were mostly work related DVD rips). Windows 7 will allow users to apply sort of an in-place image, keeping all user files intact.

Here are a few of the features we find compelling: In place imaging

Shanen Boettcher, General Manager of Windows Product Management for the enterprise,В demonstrated some of these features at a Windows 7 press briefing, and we've had the chance to look at some of them ourselves.В Microsoft's demoВ focused primarily on security, mobile access and deployment/troubleshooting, and there was some really interesting stuff there. Throughout this week's Professional Developers Conference, Microsoft has been demonstrating a number of new features designed to make the lives of IT types easier.
