Hi Mario A roll back facility is a great idea. I vote XP/VISTA restore points are one of windows Best attributes. I have used it multiple times after a dodgy Microsoft patch.
As you say every software developer needs to validate the patches and upgrades. I doubt anyone can test for our often unique unusual system configurations. Best practices has a big tick for this attribute.

It speak tons of the Unit/Apps Testing process quality in the first place, and then leave it to the user to clean up the mess. Is that marvelous? Is one thing to roll-back data updates (ie rdbms), but a totally different thing to roll-back an application upgrade. if testing is not complete, one never releases the upgrade it in the first place. I'm not a purist but to me that really sucks. mario Cedric Meyerowitz wrote: > That is what happens to BP users too.
