When university of Waterloo set up labs with Win95 on them, they were
set up so that most of the partitions on the system were either read
only, or reimaged on EVERY reboot.  Made for the most reliable Win95
systems I ever saw.  On the other hand they later got 3 WinCenter
servers and I believe if they had been an option initially they would
never have deployed windows on the workstations at all.
