Hey Guys 'n' Gals,
 
As you know the industry that is thin-computing is shifting and the concept of 
the virtual desktop is becoming more prevalent.  With this new wave of 
technology come new challenges (or opportunities) and new things to learn - 
this is a good thing.

One thing that is apparent with the introduction of the virtual desktop is that 
the user's environment is more important than ever and many solutions within 
the profile management / environment management space are now starting to 
flourish.

One thing that all of these solutions have in common is the need for sources of 
information, what data to collect, what data to discard, what components belong 
with what application etc.

So it's with this in mind that I want to bring www.insidetheregistry.com to 
your attention.  This is in beta right now but I wanted to get your feedback as 
a community - how this would best fit and serve you.

The aim of the site is to become a definitive source for registry keys / 
registry information so should an administrator want to know what keys are 
associated with Outlook 2007 so he can back them up correctly, this site would 
be able to help.

I want to however shape the site around your thoughts.  I'm looking for first 
and foremost your thoughts on the idea, recommendations for the best 
presentation of information and other components you recommend.

I'm also looking for a few official moderators / contributors for once it's up 
and going - I'd like to open it right up but the challenge is keeping the 
information correct and controlled.  

Finally I'm looking to fill the downloads section with registry related tools 
and information - if you have any, please forward them.

Feedback is appreciated.

Best Regards,
Jon
