It's worked for me a fair few times alright, but for smaller things like bad drivers preventing boot etc.
I find it generally useless when there's a major problem like system file corruption though.
It's really hit and miss, but the times that it does save your bacon makes it all worth while
AFAIK it just swaps over the registry backups like Win98 used to with scanreg /restore, so I guess if your problem isn't a registry problem, you're pretty stuffed.
