I don't see any advantages of separating OS from programs, sounds like a bit of extra mess. I imagine some people may think that they need to do that for a fresh OS install every few months, but quite frankly if you're that anal, just get yourself a decent ghosting program and re-image the OS instead. _________________ GtkRadiant | Q3Map2 | Shader Manual
