  1. 1. If you use or are considering using Windows 2003...

    • I use it in a server role.

    • I use it in a server role, but I would NOT use it as a workstation OS, even with junk removed.

    • I would use it as a workstation OS if it had junk removed.

    • I just use XP instead. Why use 2003 for a workstation OS when you don't have to?

  2. 2. If you would use 2003 as a workstation OS with junk removed...

    • I would nLite my install.
      9
    • I would nLite my install and use an FDV registry reducer too.
      8
    • I would use the HFCLEANUP feature instead of nLite (whatever the reason might be).

  3. 3. Windows 2003's interface...

    • Should have had an interface like Windows NT 4.
      1
    • Should have had an interface like Windows 2000.

    • Is great. I like the XP-style interface.
      17
    • I use a skin or alternate shell.

No... It's something I did intend but 2003's odd quirks, probably defense mechanisms? acted up when I tried to edit the TXTSETUP and related INF and other text setup files. Lots of bluescreens. TommyP's sets are really the best we're going to do in this area.

Rats! :no:

Oh well. I seem to remember a HFCLEANUP vs FDV comparison that showed HFCLEANUP coming fairly close to "FDV levels." Can't find the link, though...

EDIT:

Ahhh, here it is:

But I know that TommyP has put in a lot more work since he posted those numbers so they may be even better.
