Once I start to see a performance degradation, I will reload my clean image and start new. I must say with Vista, this "cleanliness" seems to last longer. Also with Vista, it is very easy to move your personal data folders to another drive, so I partitioned my new drive and all my data is on the new partition. When I image my clean install back, all my data is still on the second partition and the Vista installation knows where my personal forlders are. I've been using Vista on a desktop since is was Beta 1,but when Vista first was released comercially, I tried it on my T60p. Due to driver issues, the laptop was really not very functional and I quickly reverted back to XP. In the past year, Vista has matured to the point that I feel it has definite advantages over XP and this machine will never see XP again.
Acronis is such a great product that I actually keep buying the newest version available as soon as it is released (since version 8). I can't say that about any other software I Use.
Also, I really like the Z61t. Great compromise in size and functionality. GP

So does that mean that if you have one copy of Vista or XP, you can take an image of it and install that image on as many computers as you like without any consequence? Besides the moral thought of piracy I mean.
