New Project: vLite - Vista Lite
Posted by BBinder on 09 December 2006 - 11:04 · 18 comments & 14172 views
Windows Vista from Microsoft takes a lot of resources, we all know that. So here is the tool for easy removal of the unwanted components in order to make Vista run faster and to your liking. vLite can also create the bootable ISO and apply the tweaks directly.

This tool doesn't use any kind of hacking, all files and registry entries are protected as they would be if you install the full version only without the components you select for the removal.

It configures the installation directly, before the installation, meaning you'll have to remake the ISO and reinstall it. This method is much cleaner, not to mention easier and more logical than doing it after installation on every reinstall.

I think it would be closer to server 2003 actually....going by the code base.

I wonder if it takes advantage of the new installation format for Windows Vista that allows modifications to be made on the fly.

while it's very nice to use nlite with winxp, i'm not too heartbroken when i *can't* use nlite... but this type of program is perfect for an os as large and, imho, bloated as vista.

i can't wait to get my hands on my legal copy and tear out a ton of junk that i'll never use

It'll break like everything else he makes.

Stupid morons need to leave services alone.

don't put down a program you don't understand. obviously you are the 'stupid moron' for not understanding an advanced program such as this. nlite and eventually vlite are great programs to strip out your windows installation.

so nLite = vLite?

Why? Just add Windows Vista support to nLite...

i'm sure he woulda if he coulda. also, maybe he didn't want to take the chance of breaking his awesome nlite with beta stuff for vista. maybe he'll merge them later...
