There are times where you may want or need to restore to dissimilar hardware. For example, you may want to upgrade to a new motherboard and CPU, or you may want to move to a new computer.
I'd like to see this feature added to Ghost. Acronis offers this feature in it's consumer product as a purchasable add-on. Symantec offers this in their Backup Exec System Restore product for businesses. It would be nice to have this option within Norton Ghost too for home users.
