For Windows Vista, the boot sector loads the Windows Boot Manager (a file named BOOTMGR on either the system or the boot partition), accesses the Boot Configuration Data store and uses the information to load the operating system . Then, the BCD invokes the boot loader and in turn proceeds to initiate the Windows kernel . </P> <P> Windows Vista introduces a complete overhaul of the Windows operating system loader architecture . The earliest known reference to this revised architecture is included within PowerPoint slides distributed by Microsoft during the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference of 2004 when the operating system was codenamed "Longhorn ." This documentation mentions that the Windows operating system loader would be undergoing a significant restructuring in order to support EFI and to "do some major overhaul of legacy code ." The new boot architecture completely replaces the NTLDR architecture used in previous versions of Windows NT . </P>
