Thanks for your comments/advice. I will consider these things. have a
desktop with dual boot Win 98SE/Win XP, which I like, but dual boot may not
be suitable for a laptop with Vista already installed on laptop for the
reasons you said above. I think almost all makes of desktops and laptops now
only include making your own Recovery discs - no more original OS discs. I
guess less expense for manufacturers,

Something to consider is using PC Decrapifier

http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/features

to get rid of most of the junk the OEMs put on new computers. It's
free and easy to use. A no-install program and you get to select which
crap you want to get rid of. Makes life so much easier!
