Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 8 Release Preview
The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 8 Release Preview provides a complete solution for you to evaluate overall computer performance and automate the deployment of the Windows operating system to new computers.
Assessments are a new set of tools that measure the quality of a computer, including overall performance, energy efficiency, and battery consumption. The results of these assessments are used to diagnose potential problems, ensuring that the hardware, application software, and drivers that you develop are responsive and have a minimal impact to battery life, startup performance, and shutdown time. In addition to the Assessment Toolkit, the Windows Performance Toolkit lets you track detailed system information and resource usage. This tool displays real-time data and diagnostics quickly and easily, ensuring that you have a complete view of the system to help you tune performance.
Windows deployment is intended for OEMs and IT professionals who want to customize and automate the installation of Windows in their factories or organizations. In addition to new tools, the Windows ADK includes the deployment tools that were previously released as part of the Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit and the Windows Automated Installation Kit.
