[Note: I am unsure if that link will work, a strange return/linefeed is working its way in there.]

You can always go to Patent's home page [http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html ] and look it up directly: this is Patent #7,140,028.

Or, as Microsoft puts it,"System and methods are described herein for determining which components of a source operating system are required to be included in a target operating system to support selected source operating system features in the target operating system."

Good grief, sounds like building a Linux kernel to me!

Thanks, Dave Small"
