Actually what would be best if Microsoft just patched the **** bug
already!
How difficult can it be?

"IF systemrestorefiles.osversion.major = 6 THEN DON'T DELETE IT!"

Well, you get the picture. Even if it needs a hotfix to Vista to make
it add an identifying mark that says "this was made in vista" and
another hotfix in XP that checks if it was made in Vista or not, it
would still be worth it - and not dificult.
