Indeed. That might even be more elegant than the solution I proposed yesterday
where it would ask "Does ye wanna be revertin' here?" after any BSOD.
I would suggest that any boot-after-failure should tell them "Try this again a
few times", lest people get one BSOD, reboot, fail, and then call the helpdesk
immediately. You'd want them to get it back up and running and *then* report
the problem, rather than swamping support with zillions of identical tickets to
which the response is "Reboot twice more"!
As I've been saying for 30++ years:
Applications people worry about how it's going to work.
Systems people worry about how it's going to fail.
Neither Microsoft nor ClownStrike seem to have enough systems folks.
