I don't have XP, but I wouldn't have that mutch problem trying it... of course I use HDD imaging and sysprep all the time so I consider OS installations disposable and can restore in half an hour. Maybe you should compile it into a program like PC Accelerator (www.smartalec2000.com) then people may trust your methods a little more. And getting it validated by third parties would help immensly. I have to admit, the idea of replacing my microsoft certified (what the hell is that supposed to mean?) kernel/system libraries, with a version hacked by some random guy isn't all that appealing.

Keep up the good work though. good idea.
