Dude...about 6 months ago I would have agreed with you......Let me rephrase......I have done over 30 now with the softmod and have never messed one up yet...Of course I use the UDE auto installer and my dog could do it....haha....I still do both. I can not think of one reason why the NORMAL user would want anything buy.....Except for the LIVE thing and I am not even sure about that, because of all the things that MS has to detect the chips, HD modifications, etc.....Again....I am just saying let the guy decide on his own. I was never good at the solder thing, but once I learned how to do it, then I was fine....I started installing a lot of the Xenium Solderles chips, because I love the OS it has on the chip. SOme people are just skeptical about opening up their box and voiding the warranty VISUALLY....Any modding, whether it is soft or not voids the warranty. I learned how softmod on my Xenium box, and I DID screw it up 5 or 6 times when I was trying to copy the hacked text files manually and rename everythng, it was a nightmare....But once I got the autoinstaller, I was golden.......I do just as many softmods as I do chips....I just leave it up to the owner....

Later all
