It baffles me why MS doesn't include that in Home. The same registry entry exists, but it's in internal format so painful to extract quickly. msinfo32 doesn't decode it. Ends up being easiest to use the creation date of \windows.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent.
