Re: [PLUG] Dumb idea?

[Bill Patterson <patterson@computer.org>]

I do not think your idea is 'off the wall.'  You may gain some value for 
your clients and may be on the verge of a great new product, but 
consider some difficulties:
1.  Samba people always have to watch out for things that Microsoft does 
differently from what it had done in the past in order to continue to 
work with windows.  I.e., Samba can work with one release of Windows and 
not the next without additional work.  The same fate could befall you.
2.  No matter what you do, applications may be dependent on one 
operating system or another.  Application migration is a whole other 
thing well beyond operating system migration, and can be extremely 
involved, depending.
3.  To ensure revertabilty, you have to ensure that any writing to the 
disk is fully consistent with what Windows expects.

Enjoy.

Bill
