Miscellaneous Changes in Windows 7
The following sections of this document discuss additional new and changed features in Windows 7:
Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Windows PowerShell 2.0

Windows Update Standalone Agent
Windows Search, Browse, and Organization
Background Intelligent Transfer Service
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 4.0 leverages the BranchCache infrastructure to provide peer-to-peer file transfer functionality. It does not interoperate with the BITS 3.0 peer caching solution that was included with Windows Vista and Windows Server® 2008.
Note
As a result of this change, any enterprise application or service (such as Windows Server Update Services) that uses BITS 3.0 peer caching must download files directly from the originating server rather than retrieve it from a peer computer. To avoid or correct this issue, use a Windows Server 2008 R2 computer that has BranchCache installed.
