Neither option will allow you to bring your programs back into a new OS though - chances are those programs won't work fully. Now if you're installing a new OS, it's better to use the files and folders backup instead of this system image backup. But rather, if you were to use my instructions, it would mount it as a VHD so it can be browsed. The image created by Windows 7's System Image backup is not a VHD. This method of extraction is good for extracting specific data (like your documents, music, etc) as they don't need installation. Programs are best reinstalled from scratch. You could try to export the program files but they may or may not work as some programs need thier data from the Windows Registry, which you can't really export from the backup.
