-Vast Security and Speed improvements across the board from boot, shutdown, general, internet etc.. -Cleaner Scripts -More control on what to install -Many Sata and USB 3.0 drivers have been integrated as well as some chipsets and wireless drivers. -XP will now detect Sata Controllers on motherboards and Sata hard drives correspondingly. -Administrator Account is "passworded", password being: DRIVERS -This hints that mainly drivers, security and utility applications should be installed on that account, and that this account should be password protected preferably with alphanumeric & symbolic characters. -Implemented PowerUser account, account you should use for games, web browsing, documents etc. -Cannot Remove DllCache which uses 300MB as it is protected by SFC. -Removed less warranted or annoying apps, organised the rest into Utilities folder in Start Menu
