Jordan,
Well, actually it is just a dream. It could be done, though. This is
what is being done with virtualized net servers, the next logical step
would be to bring this approach to the desktop. With the actual hardware
and software, I am running Win 7 and depending on Acronis to restore my
previous state if and when necessary. Using a light-weight virtualized
Linux browsing app you could get this kind of system up and running.

Kari,
I might need an in-depth tutorial on that process. Your brief summary
of this may make it sound a lot easier than it really is ? Are you
talking about running a Win 7 VM inside of a Win 7 host ? Wouldn't
that degrade performance significantly -- at least on below i-5 systems ?
As HDDs are not particularly expensive these days (I mostly use WD
Black 1 Tb.s for boot drives, and 2Tb. ones for storage, per system),
one other thing I do sometimes is make a clone of the boot drive, for
a drop-in replacement that does not even require an Acronis restore.
These also require being redone periodically of course, to keep them
reasonably current.
