my college uses mostly mac os x and windows xp/vista, and they have this really nifty program called Deep Freeze which basically either deletes any chances made to the installation when its rebooted, or it just re-images the disk...either way, if you install something or screw something up, you just reboot and it boots up like they first just set up the computer, so its impossible to bork them.
