Just to get the conversation going, I'll make one observation.  I skimmed through the online User Manual and found a couple things:

1. The Remote administration looks like a simplified client/server capability directed at small networks with workgroup pc's.  Only one pc can be "managed" at a time from the master, but you can look at status of the other pc's backups etc.  Nice.

2. Vista support.  Hope it works, particularly the Vista Boot Configuration Data support.

3. Copy the entire hard drive to a newer larger one.  One of my pet peeves, which unfortunately Symantec has not fixed.  I have seen user after user on this forum say they cannot do a simple "copy my entire hard drive, all partitions, to a bigger one".  Here is the statement in the Ghost 12 User guide:

This is a major failing, in my opinion.  Many brand named PC's (Dell, HP, etc.) contain multiple partitions and the user simply wants to "copy the entire hard drive" to a new larger hard drive.

Regarding Vista support, I have added a new section to the FAQ, entitled "Diagnostics and Troubleshooting (Vista)" with information and references to editing of the BCD in Vista.  I predict that this is an area that will cause mis-steps by Ghost (and other imaging products) when restoring and/or cloning -- similar to the XP problems with DiskID and multibooting.
