This assumes that your applications are well behaved in terms of  
storing their data in reasonable places.  And, of course, that you are  
willing to spend the time to reinstall all the applications software  
from scratch.

I can see Flex providing a "clean install" CDROM that essentially sets  
you back to factory installation, then you do an online update  
(assuming you have a network connection), then import your databases  
which you've backed up.
