Hello

According to ....

http://www.news.com/...-56.html?tag=bl

Microsoft doesn't recommend creating Vista 'Lite'

Quote

"Microsoft does not recommend using any tool to strip out applications from Windows Vista prior to installing it on your system, as it may affect your ability to download future Windows updates and service packs, and may cause your system to become unstable," the company said in an e-mail to CNET News.com."

I like how the article continues....

The company didn't mention downgrading to XP or switching to a Mac, but I'm guessing Microsoft doesn't really want you doing those things either.

I am sure there are a lot of peolpe out there who still consider Vista to be a downgrade and not XP 64. :whistle:

To be honest there is just no way I would install an OS that takes 14 gb of hard drive space.
