So when finishing a vista installation, the setup feels the need to run a performance check on the machine that is time consuming and utterly pointless to me. Does anyone know how to disable this step of the process?

Thanks,

Well, I seem to remember a post here about disabling winsat.exe, so a quick search should find it. However, note that skipping winsat also means you won't be able to enable Aero, so it's not useless.

Hi there!

Here's an article I've published on my blog about this:
