Yeah it's pretty handy XP installs all by itself. What I really liked was starting up with all the security updated and with everything but my graphics drivers already integrated. Plus you can also use n-Lite to remove all the accessibility features you're likely to never use, even up to getting rid of Windows Media Player (since pretty much anything it does can be handles by VLC, I got rid of it, too). When I was done my install disc was only 350 megs. :D<br/><br/>But yeah. I've used my cool new disc a couple of times over the past few days since I've been getting all the kinks worked out of my new multiboot system (XP Pro, Vista, Kubuntu and OSX 10.4.4).
