XP INFO

After too many failures when using ME, when it came to clean installing XP I fist 
installed XP (Pro) on its own, cleaned up, ran chkdsk, defragged and made a drive 
image.

Next added Anti-Virus, went online, updated the AV, disconnected from the internet 
and ran a scan, then updated the OS added AdAware SE, SpyBot SD and SpywareBlaster 
(tedious isn't it?) updated everything, registered the installation, sorted out all 
registry modifications and tune-ups, personal settings, etc. and moved all of the 
various my Documents and Email folders, paging files, etc. to the approriate partition, 
installed all my programs and updated them all, and when all was right cleaned up 
again and so on, and made yet another drive image. (Lots of hard work involved as 
you know.)

Wouldn't it be nice if MS made a dual drive system with a Master with two partitions 
and a Slave (size to be chosen at the point of sale) with four partitions and would 
only allow the sale of an operating system where you had the ProductKey and did not 
require registration so that, when it was installed, all of this happened automatically?

Junk the name 'TweakUI' for 'SystemSettings' where you can choose ALL of your preferences 
on ONE applet and with one click of the Apply button have them all applied with just 
the one re-boot.

The Operating System would come with a built in partition resizer and drive imaging 
program to data DVD as standard, so this means of operation would be immediately 
evident and the second partition of the Master drive would be used to either backup 
drive C: or provide a partition for a second language based on the same operating 
system. (I have XP Pro French on drive D:)

To me a floppy drive should also be compulsory hardware.

It would be really nice if all of the imbeciles who produce virii and advertising/marketing 
trojans would just give up and throw themselves OUT of some Windows too. They are 
only fish anyway.

Still, 'computing' is 'only' a 'religious' game.
