10.5.7 Cube to new UMBP G1 TDM clone boots!!!!

Well, it seems one does accumulate a lot of crap by countless *upgrades*, because I see the same kind of sluggishness/beachballing at startup/login as in the Cube.

Because the clone is 10.5.7 and the install disks are 10.5.6, I cannot overwrite install, to check if that cleans up anything.

Erase and Install.
 
I didn't check what version comes with the hardware. It's a 2009 G1 (2.66). It's installing now from the bundled disk.

I also have the 10.5.6 retail, which gave no complaints when checking if I could overwrite.

I wonder what the model identifier spits out now since they're all called MacBook Pros now.
 
Well, that is not common knowledge. One of the reasons I didn't buy a new machine for 9 years is because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of manually transferring/reinstalling whatever is scattered around the disk, and ensuring I don't miss anything.

Do all the drivers get installed on every machine?

Is there any way to clean up the system without performing a clean install?
