Footprint Minimization
In order to facilitate footprint minimization and reduction of potential attack surface POSReady 7 supports the removal of features from the storage media such that the product DVD is required to add these features back to the platform, which provides an additional layer of security to ensure features are not mistakenly enabled. This is in contrast with Windows 7 which has the ability to Enable or Disable functionality on the fly without requiring media. In order to fully support the removal of bits from the storage media, POSReady 7 uses the command utility DISM.EXE rather than Enable and Disable Windows Features in the Control panel.

Shell Launcher
Shell Launcher enables you to replace the Explorer shell with a custom shell. Shell Launcher enables you to concentrate on your custom shell application while Shell Launcher handles issues such as executing the Run and RunOnce registry keys and restarting the custom shell if it crashes.

Display Languages
POSReady 7 CTP2 provides support for multiple display languages through the Language Pack DVD. You may have up to 5 languages installed at once and switch between them via Control Panel в?“ Regional Settings.
