Just wanted to see how people install Windows 8.

Do any remove the 100MB system reserved partition on a fresh install?

Is there a way of slipstreaming Windows 8 yet so I can delete unused apps and install drivers etc from the off?

Just after pointers and to see if I can speed the whole process up any.
 
Don't forget the AHCI drivers before the initial install. As the stock Windows AHCI drivers are from 2006. Plus I've found once you let Windows 8 install the stock drivers, Windows wont allow you to update. It tells you the current drivers are best suited and wont proceed to install anything newer.

Nice tip ;) Do I just put the AHCI drivers onto a USB stick?
