"Not for inexperienced people, support is REALLY BAD!!!"

Pros

Comes with (third party) tools to reset passwords and scan for virusses. Third party disk defragmenters and benchmark tools are also provided.

Cons

Limited backup/restore functionality with included programs, VERY limited program compatibility, there are problems with some computers with the "blue screen of death" with this version, no decent driver backup solution is provided.

Summary

You are much better off going with regular BartPE (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/) because most of the included software is JUNK and will only take up more space. Half of the included plugins weren't very-well built and you will save much downloading time and cd-space by starting from a regular BartPE build. The support on the website (www.ubcd4win.com) is very negligible. The main admin (SteelTrepid) is very picky about what he likes to help people with and is too opinionated and mostly just ignorant. The only fix you really need is the input.inf fix (should be in plugin format). It makes the USB mouse/keyboard work on all computers.

If you are a newbie, go with this build but be forewarned that the support may not be up to par (just read this and you can get a picture of what I'm talking about):
