Steadier State - free system restore method using only Microsoft technologies

http://www.steadierstate.com/

From the video:

The current disk state is retained even after reboots, so Steadier State can be used to test software that requires a reboot. Rollbacks are done by choosing "Roll Back Windows" from the boot menu when the computer boots. There is also a method provided to update the frozen disk state by merging the changes made in the current disk state into the frozen disk state.

The download contains a PowerPoint file with more information. Part of the PowerPoint presentation is found at http://www.edugeek.net/forums/downl...teadystate-alternative-windows-7-2008-r2.html.

You need Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Enterprise, or Windows Server 2008 R2 in order to use Steadier State.

Steadier State was already mentioned in this Wioski thread.
