• User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) is not a virtualization technology per se, but it allows users to maintain the same applications settings when using different devices, such as PCs or tablets
• Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) provides tools for diagnosing and repairing unbootable Windows PCs or balky applications and recovering lost or deleted
