^{Is vlite dead or in hibernation as there is no new posts from nuhi in his hompage vlite.net for last 3 months}

Please Vote

I guess the Man is Busy

His profile says "On vacation" Maybe he got tired of the "When is the next version comming out?" posts...

It's always possible he moved on to other things.

Maybe he has a real live and that is more imortant for him.

In order to get some information you need to increase the font size, turn it in red and add something like "!!!!!!!111" at the end.

It would still be more than polite to give heads up if the development is halted for longer period or ended. There are a *lot* of people checking for new version every day.

No, it´s not that, it´s the: "How do I get things back, HHHEEEELLLPPP!!!" topics... Just reinstall with the original disk .

Heck, thats driving ME crazy and I'm not even reading them anymore. I cant imagine the crap nuhi has to put up with.

if its not the "How do I get things back, HHHEEEELLLPPP!!!" topics that drove him away it was probably the "HHHEEEELLLPPP!!! I downloaded Windows XP SuperCoolEiteWarezInternalMicrosoftEmployeesOnly Edition and it says you made it and now its broke!" emails. "On Vacation" might just be a euphemism for "Locked up in a straight jacket for for planning the elaborate execution of a warez kiddie"

well i do think it is dead.
Original goal of vlite is to reduce and speed up Vista
but in my humble opinion and by reading all posts since long time
it seem that it is not really working as well as it worked for XP.
The winsxs folder keep installs big and many many compatibility problems
sprout from everywhere as time go by.
I remember an insolent member who started a topic about fitting vista on a floppy .
This made me laugh a lot but i do think he was not far from the truth.

my two cents

vLite can help, but in the end there is only so much that can be done and Vista will never be as fast as XP. I wanted to watch a video on Hulu.com and it skipped and stuttered on 480p video to no end on Vista (w/ DWM/Aero Glass disabled and using Windows Standard theme). So I ditched it again for the n'th time and put XP back on. XP plays as smooth as butter even on 720p... and I don't even use nLite at all. I will give SP2 a try when it is finished but it'll probably still be disappointing.

Then again if you have a really, really high-end system with like 20 cores and a petabyte of RAM you probably wouldn't notice the massive increase in Vista's overhead and losing a few of your 100000 frames per second.

Note that this would have less to do with Vista and more to do with the video driver, unless you were using 1GB or less of RAM (in which case the behavior you state would be something I would expect with 1GB or less of RAM - only Home Basic has a minimum requirement of 512MB of RAM, and all other versions state 1GB, and running "minimum" requirments gets you "minimum" performance).

People tend to complain about Vista being "slow" on 512MB or 1GB RAM machines compared to XP, and that is true - but one has to remember that the XP codebase is much closer to the original NT codebase than Vista is, has fewer features (yes, these do use resources), and the code is 8 - 9 years old in most cases - it is leaner, and runs faster (it's also less secure and has fewer features, but that's the trade-off). That versus Vista's codebase, which is circa 2005/2006 code (and it could be argued Vista SP1 is the "real" Vista, circa 2007/2008). Regardless of how you feel about it, running Vista on an older CPU with less than 2GB of RAM *will* likely end in frustration.

I have been wondering if VLite is dead also. I got SP2 for vista and would like to integrate into my install disk but im not sure if it work. I am just wondering how much more can the guy do. aybe if he got fedup of programming NLite and VLite he could pass on the source code to an experienced programmer to continue on his projects.

LOL WUT


Anywho. I've never had any problems using a vLite'd Vista. I used this little trick where I didn't remove anything I need. Works great!

What would a newer version provide? Is a new service pack out?

Careful when you suggest something , your advice has been actually taken into account (but he forgot the "!!!!!!!111", so no way he'll get the info).

My Hulu.com-OnlyinVista-skipping machine is a Turion X2 TL-56, 2GB of RAM and a GF Go 6150 w/ 128MB of RAM. It came with Vista. The newest signed driver for it is 167.43, compared to 86.38 in XP. Vista has plenty of free RAM to work with there is no excuse.

Must be something with your drivers or config... My 1 year old E2160 (even with 2GB) plays H.264 (unrestricted profile) @ 1080p @ any bitrate, with 5.1 sound and all no problems. No choppyness or anything ever, and that's with all the decoding done in software (no fancy vid card with AVIVO or anything like that -- a crappy low end GeForce POS). There's just no reason for your box not to handle DVD quality stuff, when lots of people got that working on P3's, and the problem isn't Vista by itself.

I only wish Nuhi could have fixed the loop issue after slipstreaming SP1. Otherwise it is a very useful program.

Ive integrated SP1 into Vista and I dont have any problems. Maybe you done something wrong?

So... When is the next version comming out?


It was fixed.Problably problem in your end

WOW! SOMEBODY DELETED MY POST HERE! WTF???

i think nuhi would make declaration about it

but he might thinking about closing it

anyway i don't think he will close those big projects


he got nice prime here

vlite is not dead
as everybody can see vlite.net is still alive

nuhi is busy, development paused but projects work fine

You all know nuhi has been spoiling us for years. And what thanks has he got?
We should all take a moment to think about when we post a question when something isnt working.

The fact that a thread such as this exists i think is somewhat an insult. I've been breaking nuhi's balls in the past for every weird error i could find with xp x64. In fact i just read my current email inbox, i had somewhat 50 emails i still hadnt deleted to nuhi, where he answeared every gawdamn last one of them.
This back in the days of the bugreport site forums, some years ago.

I was embarrased by my writing in some of them, typical LARGE LETTERS ADRESSING ANY ISSUES I HAD FOUND, proud that i was, yet however that must have looked so annoying.

Concerning Vista, it's coming with SP2 relatively soon, so it's the perfect time to be a on a break regardless.

Post #900 Wooohoo!

i wish nuhi would at least stop in and say hi and tell us he is taking break. he does deserve a break for all his work he has done for nlite and vlite

The thing is, IMO anyway, he shouldn't have to stop in and say anything. I for one wouldn't make a program like this so I could read all the incessant nagging and whining about when new versions are coming out or how soon this or that can be fixed or implimented. Yes, bug fixes and new features are always nices things to get, but people NEED to remember that Nuhi has a life and doesn't owe anyone of us any explination or reason as to what he is or isn't doing with his time. I would think that "On Vacation" would give people a hint that he's busy.

This is NOT directed at you or at any one person; just having my say.

What MrCobra said, couldn't have said it better even if i tried. Thanks.

From what I've understand the dude is studying at university. Perhaps he is catching up on exams or doing a Phd or something. The fella has given a lot of his time for little to nothing in return, so go easy on him. Even though him and me hasn't been at best terms over the years I still can recognize his efforts, and maybe need for a break.

Following what Clint said

Remember guys, we've had a new release almost every month or so for a few years running!


-edit, maybe he just forgot his msfn password..
