WinPE
WinPE (Windows Pre-boot Environment) is the next generation boot environment for
Windows computers. WinPE provides several advantages over DOS, including better
driver support (WinPE uses the same drivers used by the other modern versions of
Windows), increased speed, and generally more functionality.
The biggest drawbacks are its size, which causes increased boot time, especially when
booting over the network using PXE.
Linux
Linux provides an alternate pre-boot environment to DOS or WinPE. Many vendors
provide gigabit and wireless drivers for Linux that are not available in DOS.
