Saw Iron Man today. It was better than I would expect from your typical comic book adaption. In fact, I thought it was great.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 was, well, not much of a huge difference. Except from the fact that I no longer have to download tons of updates after a reformat, there aren’t that much to see on the surface. They STILL don’t have AHCI drivers included, so you will have to force-install those post-setup. Apart from that, I guess it’s just Windows XP refreshed.

On a totally unrelated note, these are the registry tweaks I use on my Windows Vista laptop. I’ve uploaded it here not for you, but for me. Feel free to use it though.
