W7 running hot

For some reason W7 is running hot. Not hot enough to make me freak out and pull the cord and battery, like Ubuntu did that one time when I was fiddling. But hot enough that I've installed and am playing with SpeedFan. http://www.almico.com/sffaq.php

New W7 -> go reinstall grub

I'd forgotten how long it takes to install Windows, even W7. I read a freaking book in less than the time that it took to install, goddammit. (I Shall Wear Midnight by Pratchett) But it's done now. When I have time I'll re-dl all the programs that I like to have...

For now, though, my first task is to re-enable GRUB. Dammit, Windows. I forgot that it did that. At least it's easy to undo.

Also, playing with run>compmgmt.msc is fun.
