Well, they just bought Altris, which we used at work for ghosting images via
the network PXE options
http://searchwinit.techtarget.com/or...241137,00.html

I don't know who's left, but Acronis

I started playing with Norton Ghost 9.0, after they put in DI's feature to
do a live image. Prior to that little feature, I was doing the old boot from
floppy approach. So 9.0 and above are much better than the other versions I
had played with.

Yes it is a nice feature in DI to do an image from inside XP. Acronis
manages that as well in XP and Vista. I sure hope Symantec doesn't gobble
them up to.

Acronis has so many troubles of their own that I don't know that
transferring development to Symantec could be any worse. I don't recall
an upgrade in the entire industry in the last 20 years, Vista included,
that had as many bugs as TI9. I skipped it entirely. Because of some
functionality problems, I was "forced" to get the TI10 upgrade, and it's
been problem-free, so far. Also, Acronis Tech Support is very involved
with the user forums on their site, and that's something you certainly
don't see with other companies (Corsair being the exception that comes
to mind).

Why not post this in the Vista general group? It's not a setup question.

Because this is arguable a installation type question ? Though in this case,
Pre-installtion.
