Any news about SteadyState support Windows 7

[Peter Tsang]

I am going to get a new laptop, but as you know, they all are installed with Windows 7 one of these days.

As I am used to SteadyState now with my Vista, I really need it on Windows 7.
Are there any news that Microsoft will be releasing SteadyState?

What are alternatives to SteadyState?

 

[brummie]

There are no plans to do it as far as i can tell
They did release details that they wasnt but i vaguely remember a group that was going to try get them to but i cant find the group online now so i guess that came to nothing too.

So if I am go to run Windows 7, what 3rd party software will give me something like SteadyState?

If I downgrade from Windows 7 to Vista, will I lose DX11?

Theres a program called Anti-Executable, the amount of calls I had to do to allow Office to run without being blocked, usually after an update from Microsoft. I can see the theory behind it but in practice I think there probably are better ways of stopping people running programs.

Maybe I should go to bed now...

Thanks for the pointer! It is DeepFreeze. It works perfectly on Vista 64 bits which is not supported by SteadyState. I am a happy man now!
