Ummm... do we really need another one of these? I'd dig a Beck iPod, or a Wynton Marsellis iPod (in fact, that makes sense, considering the iTunes session...)

Actual IM conversation I just had about this screencast.

Scott says:
No more having to write "make backup copy" DTS tasks for your multi-gigabyte Access exports<grin>
brian says:
hehehehehe
brian says:
I'd probably do that anyway, just for nostalgia's sake.
Scott says:
Yeah, but make it transactional.
brian says:
Make everything transactional.
brian says:
You get interrupted while taking a whiz? Whoosh, it goes back in.
Scott says:
each keypress or mouse move should have commit and rollback capabilities.
brian says:
indeed
brian says:
We should totally be product managers.

Great topic Jason and nice work. This should help solve an age old issue of downloads and not seeing the file until your actually finished with the download and another process is looking for new files. Great stuff. Just can't believe it took 20 years to get TxF into windows, but very glad you have it now. Cheers.

Neil, you could if you are using your own installer routine. However, the installers that exist in the market now either don't have transactional capabilities, are they use their own transaction behaviors (which can't be 100% guaranteed since they are not baked into the driver like TxF (although certain installers come close)).

To use TxF in Vista and Windows Server "Longhorn," it is an explicit model now, as opposed to the implicit model it was before Beta 2 of Vista. So, to leverage TxF, your could will have to change.

Installers though are one of the markets we will be targeting eventually with TxF. So keep your ears open :).

Very cool stuff indeed:s. Could I use this to install many files, such as a whole application?
