reinstall

I figured if I could reimage the new laptop, I wouldn't have to reinstall all the development software I install on a regular basis on every new system when I get a new contract gig and have to work on site--it takes me a day and a half to get through all of them, so I really need a better solution.

Note: I am using Windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop, and using Windows 7 Home on my laptop.
