I'm not "man enough" personally to do a complete wipe of a Windows
machine
and rebuild it the way I want it, mainly because I dislike Windows so
much
that I never really delved into it in depth... so I prefer to keep the
Windows distribution that the manufacturer put on it, shove it out of
the
way, and stuff other things in the blank space I just made. OK, so
I'm a
wimp - I admit it. :-)
However, there is something to be said for keeping intact a Windows
distribution
that is already on the disk. Big time-saver as far as I'm concerned.

Me? I'm
the sort that wipes a drive when I get a "stock" computer (which I
really
haven't bought in years except for my Dell last year - I build my own
computers) and installs what I want the way I want. I know I don't
have
to do that, but old habits die hard. Anyway, I have used PM on both
desktop and laptop computers to create dual- or multi-boot systems and
it's a great package. Yes, Symantec owns it now... I'm sure I saw
that
somewhere, so you're right about that, too. ;)
