How to get XP feels like Unix

Mused about the story Mark Pilgrim wrote about how he reinstalled Windows XP and to get it work like a Unix system. With an image software (e.g. Symantec Ghost we use at the company) he could reduce the 147 steps needed to just these (assume he had done the 147 steps some time ago to create an image :-)

Cleanup/format the system drive,
Boot the image software,
Install the image.

BTW: a dual boot system does not make sense for Windows/Unix only, also Windows/Windows is a good combination (one is a clean and lean install to boot safely, if you would examine the "normal" one for viruses, damage or driver problems).

Technorati tags: Windows, etc.
