Windows 2008/Vista / Freeware / 17,869 downloads

Windows Vista from Microsoft takes a lot of resources, we all know that. So here is the tool for easy removal of unwanted components and bootable ISO creation in order to make Vista run faster and to your liking. This tool doesn't use any kind of hacking, all files and registry entries are in their original form and protected as they would be if you install the full version only without the components you select for the removal.

    Version 1.2 is terrible reversal compared to prior version (1.1.6) - it's not stand-alone anymore and is completely useless wihtout 1.3 GB heavy Microsoft package. Although actual dependency is very small, no information was provided' let alone alternative download to avod all that fluff. Pretty much defeats the whole purpose of "Lite" - people who can download 1.3 GB for fun don't need reduced OS size.

    One has to wonder if author got paid, one way or the other, to make this once good software essentially useless.

    MS does not support any such apps-- to the point of trying to thwart some at times... then again, if MS put out a capable OS, there would be minimal need for utilities like vLite.

    Save your subpar ratings for Vista, not for the apps trying to remedy the situation...as this is NOT the case of an app trying to better a competent product while putting one's data at risk-- it's the OS: Vista, that's putting our data at risk.

    heh.... so many risks you take with this type of software... And that a new one is released to fix bugs where your data is at risk. Microsoft does not support Vlite installations.

    Your data folks. Worth it?

    Reviewing 1.1.6 Beta 2 (Apr 8, 2008)

    If you really want Vista and want it to run well on older hardware you should try using this program to knock out the bloat. I was able to get it to run fairly decent, albeit no Aero but not in classic mode either, on my old Pentium 3 laptop with 256MB of RAM. Pretty nice if you ask me.
