When I can do what BACKUP /IMAGE does on VMS, with a product bundled 
with the weendoze product, then I'll consider that Microsoft finally 
"gets it".  Until then, I'll continue with the belief that it's at best 
a toy OS.

VMS can be booted and run, with some restrictions, from a CD / DVD ...

I've got a copy of Ubuntu on a DVD that is bootable and runs, with some 
restrictions.

So, it can't be all that hard to be able to boot from optical media, or 
USB, with enough capabilities to run a decent backup product.  That 
would suppose there also being a decent backup product.
