Given the amount of configuration and options you can do in an OS like Windows and the seemingly endless updates from MS - security patches, hotfixes and whatnot - could you really put the OS in an EPROM? Unless you included hardware in the comp to reprogram the EPROM. Then it might be more feasible.

Fixing broken software and OSs is my forte and curse. (So much for weekends) I would relish seeing an OS on an EPROM (We do have Ubuntu on a Memory stick). I would like to see a 5 minute backup and recovery and I guess that is why there has been so much interest in what would be perfect backup configuration. Oh yes, my condolences.

Why or why can we not buy an OS on an Eprom like we used to do. Plug it in and job done. Different versions at diffenent levels give you what you pay for. IOW, after all the krap I have had to go through- twice - you just plug it in and go - no virus, no trojans, nothing but the OS and what ever level you pay for. Boot time 0 seconds.
