I have a brand new machine and I have just done my usual amount of tweaking
and customizing and have installed the dozen or so applications that I
regularly use. Everything is just right...and is guaranteed to stay that way
for about...a week or so. Sigh.

As I begin to much things up with updates, patches, new revs, etc., I would
like the ability to return to the state the machine is in RIGHT NOW. System
Restore does not address this (a restore point this early is bound to be
eliminated soon). I would like to know if anyone has any other strategies or
utilities that allow for this. Thank you...

You can create a image of the partition and back it up on a CD(s) / DVD.
There are various third-party imaging softeare that can accomplish this. One
of them is Boot-it NG www.bootitng.com

That is the one I would use (and do). It will with compression fit
about 7GB of data onto a single DVD, and will do it direct to the disk;
also restore without needing any system at all present on the hard disk
