Did i do the right thing

i recently got myself a fairly cheap laptop, if i said the specs youd laugh =P in american dollars it was around 500-600, anyway it was one of those laptops with a recovery partian on the hard drive to make a new installation cd as it came with none, fortunatly i have an official windows xp home disc

now my question is

Did i do the right thing wiping the drive clean, reason being, in its commercial state, it was full of shit like AOL instalations, etc, this is how it came with new, and other device driver shit that i dont need that was slowing it down

now it runs quicker, did i do a normal thing or a retarded thing?

>>3

im actually being serious, the computer had a whole bunch of junk i didnt really need pre installed onto it on its partion drive, i now have more space, a faster more effecient windows os, and well the hassle of finding the drivers that havent auto installed yet... its not much of a hassle, but yeah

i was just wondering what computer experts/well knowledgable peeps thought, since i wasnt sure if i messed up or not lol
