Install went perfectly. OH man, is this ugly
Well, not really, but it sure needs some tweaking.
It booted
super fast, but then again I didn't install any anti-virus , spyware, or my personal firewall yet.
I installed on my cheap $399.00 E-Machine and my performance rating was the same as before, a 3.0, where the graphics performance was the worst of them all.
I'll be playing with it and capturing all changes by using my Regshot program. You might want to look inro Regshot, here's a basic rundown:
RegShot is a small registry compare utility that allows you to quickly take a snapshot of your registry and then compare it with a second one - done after doing system changes or installing a new software product. The changes report can be produced in text or HTML format and contains a list of all modifications that have taken place between snapshot1 and snapshot2. In addition, you can also specify folders (with sub filders) to be scanned for changes as well.
What can I do with REGSHOT?
- Windows itself or some system-optimize program may change your registry,you might wonder what they have done?
- Many suspicious programs left trashes in your registry or in the file system,all those are done without notification!
RegShot can trace what they have done and clean the Mark they left!
You can use

|MG| RegShot 1.8.2 With this program and Sysinternals Process Monitor I was able to locate hidden tweaks and policies in the registry. That's how I gained my knowledge of the registry.
Actually, before Vista came about, I used to use Sysinternals Regmon and Filemon
