I used to tweak my OS all the way but in the end you always want to tweak it some more and end up going through a whole lot of trouble to gain.. well.. not so much.
I did that with my XP and it wasn't about disk space, I'm definitely in no shortage of that. I tweaked it just so it would be useable; XP is just so god awfully ugly and explorer lacking in a lot of features. The problems comes when you have to reinstall and redo all those tweaks, gah so much work.
But XP is hosed so I get to upgrade to 7 and not have to worry about most of the tweaks, whew.
Be nice if 1080i was a regular res. ... I only use that now with my HD monitor and sometimes it gets a bit picky finding a good wall with the right stuff. Not saying much for regular walls included with win7 for that. But any and all HD's are good to go for me.
I absolutely agree. Highest res widescreen should be the default (2560x1600), you can crop for any other res from that, but trying to work up from a smaller size or even worse, non-widescreen, is just impossible without losing quality.
