Ok, first of all, let his be a disclaimer. I really don't want to go to jail.
In the following post I will be talking about some inexistent operating system whom we shall call, let's say, "Doors Experience". This product is not related in any way to any actual existent operating system. Any similarities in name, behaviour or anything else for that matter are totally unintentional and purely coincidental. Please don't sue me. Also, the following facts represent my own opinion upon the Doors EXP operating system, and they may be nowhere near any real facts.

I have been working as a SysAdmin, IT service, Call Support and stuff like that for my entire life. Actually, I may have been born straight onto a keyboard. At the moment I install about 10 systems per day, so I dare claim I have somewhat of an experience with computers.
During all these years of skirmishing around with Doors EXP, I have noticed that there is more pleasure in bashing my head on concrete walls than there is in using System Restore. Also, headbashing may actually produce some results as opposed to using System Restore.

True, in a perfect world, where there are no such things as viruses, spyware, addaware, keyloggers, browser highjackers, bad disk sectors, temperamental hard disk drives, null errors, read errors, write errors, bad clusters, electrical interferances, surface damage, solar spots, tsunamis, war, famine and earthquakes, in such a perfect world, I was saying, System Restore may very well work as intended.

In our faulty world however, System Restore is just a usless string of bytes, worth just about as its own weight in Bat Guano, or 116% of its weight in canine excrements. Prices may vary, taxes may apply depending on local law system.
Of course, it's our fault this world ain't that perfect, thus it's our fault System Restore fails to perform as expected.

Bottom line.
If IT-Techies don't actually use it, it may just mean that they must be on to something.
