XII. Acknowledgments

The author would like to thank the UBCD4Win project for getting me started on everything PE.

Also the folks at the Bootland Forums and VistaPE (Thank you Nightman) and WinBuilder projects (Thank you Nuno) for all their hard work and great support. Also thanks to Jaclaz for suggestions on USB Thumb drive prepping.

Jacob Pierce for providing the Genius Drive vision and direction (prodding us forward with the electric cattle prod all the way j/k)

Will Mingle for doing the original CRC Tech CD/Genius Drive and helping get me started working on Stanford’s CRC Tech CD/Genius Drive project,  along with all the help with transitioning and suggestions for the new Genius Drive. I have a great respect for the amount of time that developing and maintaining the original project must have taken.

Jeremy Tavan and Jamal Edwards for helping with the Mac side of things and providing great feedback and testing.

The entire Stanford ITS - CRC - H&S Field Support team for helping with the testing and their excellent feedback.

The Washington University in St. Louis, School of Medicine – Psychiatry Anesthesiology Information Systems group (for being my original UBCD4WIN guinea pigs and helping me get where I am today. Eat more cinnamon rolls and Amighetti’s since I’m not there to do it).

Claus Valca of Grand Stream Dreams http://grandstreamdreams.blogspot.com/ for help pointing me in the right direction and for writing his original guide, upon which sections of this guide were based. Link to his original guide http://grandstreamdreams.blogspot.com/2009/03/custom-winpe-building-post-script-and.html

I know I’ve missed others that have contributed in ways not directly seen or realized. If I have, I’m sorry, please don’t feel bad, and a big THANK YOU from me for all your efforts!

A great big round of huzzahs for all the developers/technicians out there making tools that the rest of us use every day to make our lives easier and to help our customers.

P.S. Please supply your local I.T.S. gnomes with thin mint cookies and cinnamon rolls.
