The unfortunate thing is that Microsoft had, in one of the early builds of 7, included the functionality of SteadyState right in the OS. Then at some point it was removed and never returned. It’s really too bad, and kind of odd, that they would hand this sector over to a third party instead of just handling it themselves, with their intimate knowledge of what can and cannot be locked down properly.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Windows SteadyState + Windows 7

Decent product, great price @ $0.00 J

Unfortunately, this product will not work with Windows 7. There are other products available that perform the same task (for a cost). I have an enterprise level solution in mind to purchase that has been around since the stone ages. But before going forward with this inquiring minds want to know…

If others have considered purchasing products that perform the similar task of what MS SteadyState can do?

What product do you prefer (if any)?

For those unfamiliar with SteadyState here is a definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_steady_state
