    Does anyone know if the restore dvd that came with the m11x has all the dell crapware in the installation? Just curious...

    Not that I need to reformat - after playing with optimization a little I have the cpu idleing at 0% and the system running on 935mb of the available 4gb (which is still a lot for windows 7, I do however have McAfee running).

    I've had a clean windows7 ultimate install running on around 500-600mb before, anyone have any suggestion to achieve this on the m11x with 7 home premium? I've killed all the unnecessary startup items I can find so I think it might be something dell has bundled and hidden or something...
