How-To: Optimize Your Windows Profile and Media Storage with a SSD

Vista, not XP.
What is the difference in performance between this and moving the folders (Local, LocalLow and Roaming) to the other drive via right-click, "Target" and move? That does move most of the stuff - and without mangling the registry.
It's also possible to put the dumb folders like searches in a lower-level directory, with documents and music where they're easy to reach by the same method.
Just Curious.
Vista Activation Strikes Again - Time to Fight Back

Where is the "how to" on how to reset the 30 days of activation? I'd seen it somewhere ... in print.

Approx cost? Yeah, I can go surf a comparison site, but I'm lazy. Like many readers, I'd like to know, at least, whether it will be worthwhile.
Few Buy into the Next-Gen Movie Hype

Some do. The most telling fact: they guys still come over to watch Blu-Ray on my 52" setup, rather than chowing down on better eats and "regular" definition on a similar size plasma at someone else's place. The format is superior, especially when used with HDMI 1.3, great sound and a profile 1.1 player. In the "for the record dept" - because that is missing from the main point of the article, which is as close to the "why" as political polls are to the voting public. Accurate, but often missing the point. Most of my movies I get from NetFlix. I bought Casino Royale and 3:10 to Yuma because they were worth watching again. With friends whenever. The real problem is the content - the content not regarding how it is encoded. The rest of the DVDs (well, most) were from NetFlix for a reason: they were worth watching once, just once, because most of the drivel coming entertainment industry isn't worth paying for. Most of what I own isn't going to be Blu-Ray, because it isn't box office material: classic movies, and a lot of period stuff based on classic books. They have real depth, real stories. Most of what will come out on Blu-Ray, for some time, is just recent releases. I watch some of them, but what I enjoy most, including a 2nd or 3rd viewing, isn't those recent releases. Then there's Planet Earth - on Blu-Ray. Now THERE is an example of why Blu-ray is worth it. But it isn't a box office hit.
