This is not a new solution, but If a Microsoft representative came 
a-knocking on my door waving a BIG wad of cash I would be happy to 
implement it for them. ( subject to conditions )

In a larger organization protecting the Operating System itself is not 
the problem.Using ghosting on Win98 to restore a damaged partion is 
relatively painless operation. 

Just switching to NT will not provide protection to document files that a 
user has write access to OR information in documents that a user has 
read access to. It is possible to create scripts that check access
permissions before attempting to do so.

Losing information and changes from damaged documents is expensive.
Manually checking documents and there backup copies before restoring
can be a time consuming hassle.
