Hi everyone,

I did research but i found some of you guys can explain particular items better. Just need some clearing up on some things or maybe links that will.
Thank-you;)


1. What's the "Driver Store" and what type of drivers can you find there?

2. What is the "Session 0 Isolation" and its function?

3. How and what is winSAT.exe, WDDM drivers do to the Aero features in Vista?

4. Why is the removal of GINA for longon on Vista a potential support issue?

#1. : "Driver packages that are used to install driver software are copied in their entirety into a "Driver Store", which is a repository of driver packages. This ensures that drivers that need to be repaired or reinstalled won't need to ask for source media to get "fresh" files. The Driver Store can also be pre-loaded with drivers by an OEM or IT administrator to ensure that commonly used devices (e.g. external perhiperals shipped with a computer system, corporate printers) can be installed immediately." (from a Wikipedia article)
Seems to explain it pretty well. All your device drivers can be stored in one nice place.
