Very handy. Soon I'll be able to splice this into a Win7 disc and have the updates already there for when I install Win7 on another machine.
Super, now let's hope it doesn't break anything!

Its a new feature for Server 2008 R2, for allocating memory for virtual machines. Nothing to worry about if you are a home user.
