    I wanted to know if anyone was so inclined as too rip the factory default restore?

    I wanted to try to work something out where you can slip stream it and get it updated, take out all the bloatware, and maybe even put in all the drivers that you'd want. While maintaining it's awesomeness and effectiveness? :D

    I know about nlite :p. I wanted to know if anyone knew how to pull all the crap off the hard drive so that I could edit it? Or, if someone else has done so already :D.

    well you can 'rip it out' with Acronis, i made an exact image using true home 10, i could have just selected the recovery partition and copied that.....so right now i could edit the recovery partition and reburn the entire thing to a HD (assuming i didn't bork something up when editing).
