First off, when plugging to USB cable in for the first time (I have a Samsung Omnia i910, so cable works with Sway), Vista tries to install drivers.  I forget which screen but after clicking so many times for online search, the last page lead me to a link that enabled me to download and install this file:

http://mrhop.com/pub/20070813082717640_Samsung_USB_Driver_Installer.exe

So I removed the phone, install, and rebooted as instructed.  Then after reboot, plugged up phone (make sure to keep USB mode on phone to Ask, and don't select anything when prompted on phone).  Vista sees everything and magically a COM8 appeared.

 So I downloaded QPST-2.7 BULD 263 from isohunt cough dot com.  Followed instruction from howardforums.com and things work like a champ.

 To reduce the number of phone reboots from two to one, after the initial reboot and edit of file MrInfo.db, you can copy and paste lines to create new entries for every new mp3 copied to /brew/mod/mr folder.  Then when done, just copy file over and reboot one time.  This way you don't have to reboot to get new MrInfo.db, and edit, and reboot again to apply changes.

Another thing, when USB cable is used, set the phone to ask mode for USB.  And when asked, don't select anything!  Very important, as the drivers will do different things depending on your choice when asked.

After playing around with it, I like it.  There is bad, but you get what you pay for.  In particular, I just don't like the way it auto rotates.

 Well it's late, and I decided to whip out the Visual Studio 2008, created a new project and voila, my own orientation rotation program.

Rotate Left 

But if you want to rotate right, there's a default rotate command you can map, it's on the top of the list.

Created a programs folder call Rotate, then copy and paste a shortcut to your Windows\Program folder.  And, finally mapped it to hold button on the right of phone.  See picture, it's barely sticking out on the right side of the phone on top.

Upon launch, the program will run, check orientation, and rotate left, landscape.  Do the same again, and it will rotate back to normal portrait.  It will auto unload itself.

For those who are curious, here are the vb codes:

Public Class Main
Private Sub Main_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Select Case Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation
Case Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle0
Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation = Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle90
Case Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle90
Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation = Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.ScreenOrientation.Angle0
End Select
Me.Close()
End Sub
End Class

To start, browse to your router's management webpage, at http://192.168.1.1/ 

 For starter, disable uPnP, this causes alot of lag and disconnection problems.

The next thing to do is make your Xbox 360 your DMZ machine.  DMZ basically means all external ports are pointing to the Xbox.  First if you do not know your Xbox IP address, use these steps to find the IP address.  Make note of the last number (in this case, it's 100)

 From there, click on Application and Gaming, Enable DMZ and put in the address noted in previous step.  That's it.

Other brand routers should have these settings, they maybe in different menus.

If you don't have a USB CDrom drive, it's ok, you can get one of these for 19.99:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002

and use any desktop CDrom drive.  Very useful, ironically, I had a spare ASUS 52x CDrom drive laying around.  :-D

Use the above guide to NLITE and Slipstream your SP3 in #8 step above.  Don't worry, sp3 will not expire.  ;-)

I would recommend leaving everything in Services alone.  As for OS related items you can safely remove most of the black text items, I chose to not remove the following:

Color Schemes
FAT to NTFS converter (if you choose to remove this, you will not be able to format FAT32 during install)
Input Method Editor
Local Security Settings
Shell Media Handler
User Account Pictures
Zip Folder

I recommend unattended install, the options in the next sets of screen are pretty straight forward, each has his own preferance, if you want to see what I choose, look at the following NLITE ini, copy and make nlite.ini file and save in preset folder (C:\Program Files\nLite\Presets):

------------END NLITE.INI---------------------

You'll notice I have my temp_dir set to d:\cache, it's important to format your SDHC card in advance and make that folder prior to installing XP.

Whichever method you choose to install XP, CD or USB, make sure to format your drive NTFS.  Install away.

Once done, perform these steps (presume that my D: drive is my SDHC card):

1) Make another Admin user, log out, and into this user account (you'll see why you need to do this soon).

2) Make folder in D:, then move IE6 Temporary folder to your D: drive, I moved mines to d:\cache, force logout, login again to same user.

3) Move My Document Folder to D:, mines is D:\Files

4) Right click My Computer, and goto Advance Tab, click on Environment Variables button and change User and System temp variables to point to D:, mines is d:\cache.  Do not Disable Paging file just yet.

5) Make another folder for Documents and Settings (Mines is D:\Users)

6) Bring up registry editor and goto these keys:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]

In both, change the AppData folder where you want it to be, mines happen to be in:

D:\Users\USERID\Application Data

(Change USERID to your user ID, you'll see this in the above HCU key)

In HCU, directories to change are:
Cookies
Favorites (I have this set in my document, makes sense as they are just important as my files d:\files\favorites)
History
Local AppData
Local Settings

Personal, Pictures, and Cache should have already moved if you perform step 2, 3 above.

7) Logout of this user ID, and back into Admin ID, copy:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
C:\Documents and Settings\USERID\Application Data
C:\Documents and Settings\USERID\Local Settings

to your D: drive (Mines is in D:\Users)

The reason why you need another ID to do this, is because Windows locks files in Local Settings and prevents you from copying them while that USERID is logged in.

8) Reboot!

9) Login in as user, and update your BIOS, reboot.  Use items 4, 5 download list above

10) Install item 3 in the download list (required for your sound card drivers to work)

11) Install your drivers, updated versions would be nice
http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=7791
I normally do not reboot until all drivers are loaded, then I reboot.

12) Reboot!

The rest is optional depends if you plan on install Office 2007.  After you perform the above, you will plenty of room to install Office 2007 (though not the entire set of apps)

1) I install Windows Desktop Search first.
2) Install Office (Word, Outlook, OneNote, Excel, Powerpoint)
3) Have SP1 on D: or USB key, and update
4) http://office.microsoft.com/ Install remaining Outlook update

I also have Photoshop CS2 installed, I can't live without Photoshop, even on EEE PC.  :-D

Time to disable and cleanup

1) It's safe now to Disable Paging File, Right click My Computer, and goto Advance Tab, Click Settings under Performance Box.  Advance Tab, and Change Button.  Set No paging file on C: drive.  (I have 2 gigs of memory, and plan not to use no more then two big apps at any given time.)

2) Services to Disable:
Event Log
WMI Perfomance Adapter

as well any other services that writes logs to C:, I use filemon to look for them.

If you plan to Ghost your C: drive, on some versions of ghost:

Ghost.exe -NTIL

my Ghost version is 7.0 Enterprise, which required the above switch to properly ghost NTFS.

You will notice I didn't change anything with the Administrator Account.  Reason is, when you perform driver related updates or BIOS updates, all your settings point to D: will not show up until USB hardware are recognized.  the Administrator Account is what I use to perform such updates.  ;-)

I'll add more to this list as questions are asked and answer or if I remember any details left out.  I know I can be doing other things right now, like playing Halo 3, but I thought this would help some of you with your XP install.

I had a chance to use my EEE with OneNote, and it's great.  Like the EEE very very much.

Likes:
1)  It is a new interface, refreshing, Vista is definately eye candy, reminds me of Mac OS? 
2)  More then 4 gigs of memory.  I maxed ram out at 8 gigs
3)  Better security, lots of prompt where you normally didn't have prompts before in previous MS OS.
4)  Ready BOOST!!!!!!!!
5)  IE 64!!!!! If you do not want activeX controls, use this version of Internet Explorer.  But be ready to live without even Flash.

Dislikes (but can get use to)
1)  Limited apps, not everything works on Vista, and definately not everything works on Vista 64
2)  Changes in where things are located
3) Had to buy new software  Adobe CS3 Design Premium was not cheap, and that was only the upgrade.

All in all, I really do like Vista, do not know too much about the 32 bit version, but the 64 bit version rocks if you have enough memory on a decent rig.
