You guys have had much better luck with System Restore than I have.

Of course, when I've used it it hasn't been pre-meditated (like the
driver example),
it was "oops, my god, how can I fix /this/?!?!"...

It has worked a few time, I won't knock that, but, man, my system never felt the
same after.

I think the best example of it is for the drivers, whatnot.  Set a
point manually,
and then do your stuff, and then either restore or not.  It really
doesn't handle
"take me two weeks back" "ok, now take me 4 weeks back" "ok, now two
forward" like I wish it did.  Not exactly it's fault, more the way
WIndows works.

All exp. is with XP, haven't tried it on Vista.

Luckily, OS X doesn't use a Registry, so there's less need for a tool of the
System Restore kind... "normal" backups work pretty good...
