Aside from the unattended install and saying what you can kill in TaskMan to kill the debugging overhead what do you think should be in my new guide?

Also including MCE drivers.

I could be wrong, but Luna isn't in Longhorn, it's replaced with a VS called Plex and the visual style structure is set up differently from XP. You can use the latest Windows Blinds though to skin.

@Rudy: it's not the same as the Luna in XP. And a compatability list would be really really f**king long, like hell I'm going to write that :P easier to say whats incompatible which is: Renegade CD Rip (doesn't count since it's not legit vr.) and the Phoenix RAID drivers used by GigaByte's GA-7VAXP and 7VAXP-Ultra.

@Rudy: doesn't help with cracking skinning, everything in it and all the other msstyle related files is changed, also msstyle's is one of the most unstable portions of longhorn, causes massive memory leaks.
