I think reformatting is actually good advice. Providing of course, you neither want nor need all that extra fancy, visually oriented stuff manufacturers tend to install under the clever guise of support and performance enhancements, and which it would seem, primarily is there to provide an advertising vehicle to keep you with a full shopping cart!
As for the warranty, I would be surprised if any manufacturer would consider reformatting a hardware warranty voider. After all, it's a common solution many of them take anyway. They may very well decline future software technical support since they won't have all their I spy tools ready for remote control, but then, I can't really remember a pc manufacturer ever giving really good tech support. As for what GW did for Don H., I'm real impressed. In tech support it always seems to be the hardware guys blaming the software guys and vice versa, with neither really caring, much less doing anything. While GW, the software guys, went way beyond and took a clients hardware in to make certain all was well with the software name me one PC manufacturer who has ever done the same to make their hardware do it's thing with your proprietary software...
