You can also just do the install and windows will move your old installations data to a folder called windows.old. But when I do a new install I like a clean HD, cause I'm picky. :P I have no love in my heart for the PowerPC Macs and I think they are right to drop them. If I ever buy a Mac it will be when I have money and want a nice sleek bit of hardware. I'm not a big fan on OSX. Don't get my wrong, it is a well built, quality OS, better then windows in that respect. But I REALLY don't like it's interface, particularly the colour scheme, navigation and window management. If I ever get a Mac I will keep OSX for the fantastic programs that are available for it but I will reduce it's partition size, and slap on a copy of Ubuntu and Win7. Ubuntu for it's customizability (I like customizing machines) and coding work. Win7 for games. And keep maybe OSX for a bit of design work. ;) “Custom Install” means basically wipe your hard drive and make a new installation.

Install from scratch

Also, Apple way is best – keep things trim.
