I have used FOG over the years in different environments & I am always amazed at how well it performs no matter what I throw at it. In fact, I am constantly surprised at how little people have heard about it? With that in mind, I am constantly wanting to talk about it & demonstrate it to people but, being able to run through installing Linux (plus various packages & FOG) in a MS centric house can be frightening for clueless management let alone time consuming. Having the ability to walk in with a virtual machine or live USB boot environment would just be the shiznit! Minimal time involved plus, no Windows PC’s would be harmed during this demonstration. I’ve used [URL=‘http://virtualboximages.com/’]Virtual Box[/URL] in the past due to convenience to show features for other products but any of the VM’s would suffice. Any thoughts on building one? I understand limitations might need to be put in place but, I believe the overall features & functionality would be able to be shown off in a short amount of time.

How about a client that you can specify folders (& sub) to backup & then pull back down once their profile is complete in 2 separate manually kicked off procedures? Viruses require a trigger to activate. Re-imaging usually relieves that trigger from occurring since those points are replaced with known good (clean) entries (registry, startup areas, secondary data paths, browsers, etc…). The chance of a “My Documents” or “Favorites” being the source of infection is usually quite small plus, it would take manual intervention to reinfect.
