With that said, I have tried several custom ROMs and I have went back to the one I mentioned earlier because of the stability and the preformance of it. Most of the hacks I do to the phone (to increase performance and stabilty) are already done in the ROM. But sure, there are still a few that I have to do manually.

I have flashed many phones and I have never had any issues out of this ROM. I do however have a second phone which I test things on and it is currently up to WM6. Do I like it? No, I do not. Even though I am appreciative of the work put into it and its release, I know it still has too many bugs for me at this time.

You asked a Q of what room do I think is really being cleaned up? I am referring to Memory Storage space and Memory Program space. Either way though, it does supply the advantage of not having all the crapware and paves me the way to install what I want.

Sure, if I use WM6 (with a lot of the apps already built-in) I can delete the link in \Windows\Start\Programs and pretend it isnt there. I can also remove the .lnk or .exe from starting up but that doesnt actually remove the application from the ROM itself.

So this is why I continue to use the ROM that I do. These are only my personal decisions and reflections.

While the clean and simple does start with a trace (it really is slight) more memory being available, that advantage is most likely immediately lost by the end-user installing the very thing which was removed from the ROM to gain that space. Furthermore, it doesn't make any difference if an applicaton is in the ROM if you aren't running it - unless you want to bake something else into the ROM in its place (which is anti-C&S philosophy and certainly something you can't do if you're using a ready-made ROM). Truthfully, I think a lot of people believe that the mere presence of an applicaton in ROM is somehow deliterious, and that's just wrong.

All the kitchen ROMs have the crap-ware removed, so that's not a competitive advantage for any kitchen based ROM over another.

What I think is good about the C&S Roms is they load very little if any of the fancy user-interface stuff (which is typically where all the instability comes from). Beyond that, the rest of the C&S concept is silly.
