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.
Interesting point. I've always waited for SP2 to be out and good reports come
in before changing versions.
