Dunno. I do not deal with the Windows stuff, and ByteWorks won't be dealing with Windows much longer, either. Dog slow on the older machines and too much hassle dealing with crud like activation/ registration (or whatever the phrase du jour is). As for the 30 days, I don't know what the solution is. But I would imagine that even in the worst-case scenario we clone again. My bigger concern is how linux works when cloned using dd. It seems to work just fine. In the past I've used dd to create a snapshot of my Linux, Windows, and Mac machines in the event I want to experiment or to recover from a disaster. But restores have always been back to the same machine, not different machines. Is there anything we should watch out for?
