Windows Gadgetzone.com has an interesting artcile on 20 things Windows 7 MUST include (their emphasis, not mine). They begin "Despite its enhanced security, improved CPU scheduler and excellent stability, it's still the flawed gem in many critics' eyes. But can Microsoft win back the XP crowd with its upcoming Windows 7 offering? The fact is, they have to." My Take: Not sure I agree with them all -- do home users really care about WinFS? -- but some, like home user licensing and simpler management of startup items would be really compelling features for upgraders.

Feature #7

"7. OS Restoration via imaging

System restore is a great companion when things go wrong. But sometimes the damage is too severe. By integrating a user friendly imaging solution, the user would be able to install everything they want, and then simply create an image of the setup. This image would be saved on another HDD or partition ready to restore in the case of a system failure."

So... What they want is the complete PC backup feature that exists in Windows Vista (Business, Ultimate and Enterprise)?

It seems like they request features and yet don't even know what features Windows already have... (Sure, the could mean that the feature should be included in every version if Windows 7 but thats not what they've written.)
