You have to keep a regular check on sites like Majorgeeks for both freewares mixed in with sharewares for the different types of diagnostic and repair tools that will eventually come out or may already be out for any repairs needed on the new versions of Windows now out. http://majorgeeks.com/downloads7.html
Some tools like RegCleaner will work in all versions of Windows according to the descriptions available on them. Vista now longer has the recovery console seen when booting with the installation disk there. But the "sfc scannow" command entered at the Run prompt is one tool included in Windows since 98.
