Ho hum. The last whizzo 1/10/08 Vista update did for my only Vista PC -
Get a LiveCD Linux such as Puppy-4 and a USB external hard disk that
is bigger than the disk in the machine. You can use "gparted" to make
a bit for bit copy of the hard disk in the Vista machine.
When you have a bit for bit copy made, you and write it back in every
time the Vista mungs its self. If you buy a really big disk, you can
make copies of various situations of Vista. This way you can test
with and without some of the service packs etc.
If you are making software that runs on a windows machine, you should
have an extra step in the install. It is worth making a file such as
install-conditions.txt that lists the DLLs etc that are installed at
the time of install. This can help in trouble shooting.
