oobeSystem configuration pass The final configuration pass before installation is complete. This configuration pass is typically used in conjunction with Sysprep and ImageX.
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) A standard used by network cards to boot directly to the network and download an operating system. Once that operating system is started, tasks such as imaging can be performed.
product activation A process put in place by Microsoft to reduce piracy. Unique information about your computer is sent to Microsoft to ensure that the package of Windows 7 purchased is installed on only a single computer.
Remote Installation Services (RIS) The server-based system used by pre-Windows 7 servers for deploying desktop operating systems automatically over the network.
specialize configuration pass The configuration pass that is performed after hardware has been detected. This is the most common configuration pass to apply settings.

virtualization software Software that allows you to run multiple operating systems on a single computer at the same time. One operating system functions as the host, while others are guest operating systems that run on the host.
Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) A collection of utilities and documentation for automating the deployment of Windows 7.
