   I don't mean restoring data/files from backup - that's highly valuable.   
   I mean "restoring" an entire computer back to some saved state.  Some methods,   
   like LANDesk's imager (whatever it's called) which allows you to roll out   
   a corporate image onto new computers (so long as the hardware is identical)   
   and Norton Ghost seem to do this well.  The methods built into Windows ("System   
   Restore") and sometimes added on by PC retailers (Dell and Gateway2000 do/did   
   this), are, IMO, garbage.

   This sounds to me like restoring files from backup, not "rolling back Windows".   
    And, IMO, "image" is the wrong term for backups, though programs may well   
   use it that way.   
      
   Just my opinions.  Do what works for you.
