I am thinking of doing the Root thing, Im an advanced windows PC user, But Major Noob in android, So I got a few questions,
When rooted do you loose HTC sense?
If so does any miss sense? not really sure what sense really does since the dinc is my first and only smart phone.
After a dinc is rooted and it be un-rooted? and is it harder to un-root?
From reading this post, I gather that the main reason to root is to remove bloatware and get wifi tether without having to pay big red?
Is there any other major advantage to rooting?
sry if these questions are stupid, dont mean to bug ya's, just want to make sure i know whats going on before I make my first base jump
Thanks

Well Windows power user lemme talk in terms you will understand.
Basically when you receive your device you only have user rights on the phone. Meaning you can't change system files etc, and some options aren't available to you. When you root you are gaining exactly that root. In the linux world root is the end all be all user level, in windows it's known as administrator.
So no when you root you don't lose anything, it just gives you elevated permissions on the system. There are numerous reasons to root a phone, the most popular being removing preloaded apps you don't want or need and wifi tethering. However there is a full bevy of things in front of you to try once you root your phone. Like installing over clock-able kernels for speed, undervolted kernels for power savings, themes, vanilla ui's instead of sense, and the list goes on and on!
Rooting is highly recommended by a lot of people. Especially if you are a control junkie, like to have the latest and greatest, or really like to push your device. A lot of people do it just so they can theme sense. So really it's up to how much you really want to do on your device.
Like the old Windows saying, "What do you want to do today?".
