How many times has anyone toasted their Winblows box because of a failed update, driver install, new hardware compatibility issue or better yet, MS's "Forced" updates?
With this you at least have the ability to get a revised, updated or backdated driver, contact tech support, research or troubleshoot your issue instead of being dead in the water until the neighbor get's in, you call someone for help or you take it to the shop to fix the problem.
This is an awesome failsafe for anyone who's learning or only has 1 PC at home. Hey, let the kids surf in this mode and keep your OS install pristine. There's a lot of options and potential with this so let's not jump the gun yet and assume it's a replacement OS.
