Interesting guide, though I knew a similar thing this guide taught me some new cmd commands.

You should try to improve your layout

7/10

 

As Tux said, pretty interesting and unique. I think centering a few things here and there will make it an even better guide!

Specific suggestions? How do I make it better?

 

should work with vista 64bit, aside from driver difficulties, I see no reason a64 windows would have a problem with this..
