MOST software is easy to install. Some programs are better written that others though.

A lot of software will write to the registry. It's nothing to worry about.

You should develop a backup strategy. Activesync will backup the main memory and you would have to manually backup your Built In Storage and Storage Cards, or there are other 3rd party tools. The Dell tool is pretty weak.

Also you can hard reset the device and that will clear the memory and do pretty much a restore to factory defaults. But it will not restore a ROM upgrade and will not clear storage cards or Built In Rom. The easiest way to do a hard reset is to remove both batteries.

If you remember only one word from this post it should be this one:
backup
