System Restore
These two guys I know who are IT guys at the international school went to Beijing recently for some sort of training week put on by Microsoft. At the meeting Microsoft gave all of them a disc with Vista RC1 on it. One of them gave it to me... and I really wanna try it . I know I could've downloaded it, but was never really interested, but now that I don't have to download anything why not try it out. I wanna know if I like it, and RC1 wasn't much different from RC2, and from reading the box it might automatically update itself once I get it running. I read the box it was in and it said you couldn't just roll back the installation, which didn't surprise me much, but I realized that I wasn't sure if we brought our discs that came with the computer, so I couldn't just reinstall xp when the trial version ended in late March. So I'm wondering if making system restore discs will do the trick. I wanna put it on one machine to try it out, so couldn't I just pop a blank cd in and make a system restore disc(s), and then as soon as vista get's annoying/tells me I need to upgrade now, I just pop in those discs, run them, and it puts me right back to where I was now.
