I have slipstreamed all of my apps and settings into a Ghost Image, which make reinstalls a breeze! On the down side, <em>I seem to need that Ghost Image twice a year.</em> I try not to install to many applications that I know I'll end up uninstalling, but that can't be help sometimes . . . That and I hate that Windows slows over time. I consider myself a Power User: I know what to do and what not to do to insure a clean system, but I still end up with a fresh install a couple of times a year. While it feels nice after the process is done, it seems so unnecessary. It would be nice to have a Mac's (and Linux's) functionality when removing a program - when it's gone, it's gone. I haven't tried Vista yet. Honestly, the more I read about it, the more I feel the need to stick with XP but I know I need to start using it! I agree with you on the ease of installation of Windows.
