If you liked Microsoft’s SteadyState and wish they hadn’t gotten rid of it, Steadier State may answer that wish
If you’ve never heard of SteadyState but think it’d be cool to have the power of a virtual machine’s snapshots implemented on a physical machine running Windows 7 or R2, you may like Steadier State

The Problem

* Classroom labs
* Libraries
* Kiosk machines

Fortunately, there’s a “SteadyState” hidden inside Windows 7 (kind of), and Steadier State makes it possible for Free !!!
