    I did a clean install on my G1S, as in I didn't insert the driver CD when prompted to.
    I've installed all the necessary drivers including stock video card. However, for some reason my computer doesn't have Aero. How do I activate it? I know it kind of defeats the purpose of doing a clean install, but I'm more curious than anything else.

    I think you can activate it by right clicking on your desktop and accessing the Personlize window. There is an option to set Themes in there.

    Furthermore I suggest Vista Battery Saver (google for it) to manage automatically Aero and Gadgets on wall power versus battery power.

    In fact, take a look at my Vista optimization guide for some tweaks to make your Vista run smoother.
