This may or may not work well for you, but if you use roaming profiles, 
then all your application data can live in a central location. If you 
have a domain, I think this is easier. Some companies/orgs do this.
I use Windows on all my workstations, and I store everything important 
on central file servers and only back those up. If I were to lose a 
workstation, it would be no significant loss for me - inconvenient, 
perhaps, but no data is lost.
