• Target – Microsoft sees Windows PE as an installation platform. Bart sees Windows PE as the next generation rescue platform. • Start-menu – Bart’s builder gives you a simple, dynamic and powerful start-menu (Nu2Menu, see screenshots). Microsoft’s builder does not give you a start-menu, it uses a command prompt. • Build from – Bart’s builder can also build from Windows XP Home Edition or from a preinstalled Windows XP version (without CD). • Plugins – With PE Builder you can easily add applications, drivers or tools using plugins. This makes PE Builder extremely powerful. The end user can even combine plugins from different software vendors into one CD image. • Network support – PE Builder includes it’s own network support tools (bartpe/penetcfg) to start TCP/IP and Microsoft Client. The TCP/IP settings like: dynamic/static ip-address, subnet-mask, default gateway, dns-servers computer-name, workgroup can be changed on-the-fly. You can create pre-defined profiles, that you can select.
