Ultra-Stripped-Down version of Windows Vista - only 351MB!

Windows Vista Xtreem - Bloatware free

A little more than 351MB I think...

I'm sure this will play well with WGA...

If you install without a key, and use this as a trial, wga will work fine... until 30 days are up, then you have to find some article about slmgr, and reset the trial period. Apparently, you can use Vista without a key for approx. 240 days.

To extend your grace period you have to go into the command prompt and type:


That gives it an extra 30 days. And it's legal to. They have an article in the Windows help database on Microsoft.com.

Thing is, it only work 3 times.

Actually it has a far newer kernel and base system which is more secure and faster than 2000 or XP.

That doesn't mean it's exactly magically secure and fancy, but it sure as hell is much better.

anyone have any benchmarks of nlited or stripped down vista vs 2k, or xp?

Stripped-down versions of Windows are very fast!

They use minimal memory and dont run crap.

You can find some good ones such as:
XSOS 2.0 - Windows 2000 stripped to bone!
TinyXP - Windows XP
Tiny2003 - Windows 2003
Windows XP JACKED - Windows XP, claims to use as less as 19MB RAM at startup!
Windows Xtreem - Windows Vista that can be installed on 256MB RAM machines!

These are good for gaming as there are more memory available to your game

XSOS and Windows Xtreem, apparently made by the same person are extreme Windows versions that are not stripped by nLite or vLite. But may stripped even down to the DLL level...

Oh noes guys! It's Fanboy Hour ™ on InsanelyMac. Windows Vista is *more* secure than Windows XP. Not only that, but it's far more secure when considering alternatives such as SkyOS, BeOS, MorphOS, TriangleOS, I could go on forever. It's questionably less secure for end-users than operating systems people actually use like Linux and OS X, but without penetration testing, it cannot be proven. The fact is that Windows is crappy, but it isn't a steaming pile of {censored}, and that's because Microsoft knows they need to make money. Don't use it if you don't like it, but don't spread FUD, it's retarded. If you want security, use VMS.

Just tried it. It does indeed install and start very fast in Parallels. Very fast.

Unfortunatly, it only has a classic gui and no applicatinos other than ie. For Parallels I don't need much more, but I would like as much of aero as I can get. This version is just too stipped for me. Good try though.

i am not experienced with windows at all, how could i just skip the serial # part completely, and go to the 30 day thing?

Sorry it took so long to reply. I was busy laughing at that story. If people on *Slashdot* call it sensationalist bullshit, then it can't possibly be more than FUD.

I do find it interesting that you changed your story however. Thanks for the FUD reduction.

You aren't required to enter a serial when installing Vista. You can click continue when it asks your for it and go right to the installation.

I was wondering when this would reach the masses since nLite for vista was released not that long ago like a month i think.
of course its going to run faster cause there are less this that it has to do. and stripping the aero gui will speed anything up.

okay, another stupid question, how do i combine the packages in mac?

Just make sure you turn off automatic updates first and don't install/have already installed KB931573, or you'll be screwed. If you start having problems with Vista after the update, boot into safe mode and remove timerstop.sys (crack file) from the Windows folder.

I was reading that a new crack has started circulation that gives the crack file a random name so the MS update doesn't work? It will also work on systems that have used the rearm trick more than twice.

Thread cleaned for flaming/name calling. We don't need that here, gents. Disagreeing is fine, but always make sure it's in a respectable manner.

vLite, and yea... took long enough

odd, i can boot off the dvd wit my mbp, but it hangs when it gets to the pretty Click to view attachment screen.not that i need vista on my 1gig flash drive.

Have it installed, works like a charm

Whahaha...that is funny.

As nastyhome pointed out, THIS IS NOT made with that POS nlite/vlite.

Simply try to achieve the same footprint OR resourceload with an vlited Vista, then post again and see who is laughing.

I'm so fed up with all those nlite/vlite "buttonclicker" fanboys that doesn't know {censored}.

..."releasing" stuff they have "made" by simply click options in nlite and watching that statusbar roll....pah!

BTW, Nuhi is a simple 'try and error' guy with too much time on his hands...nothing more.

/someone

Dudes, i have no idea why you quoted me, other than to think you had some benchmarks to share, but forgot?

the very definition of "too much time on his hands" is registering to a forum for a one post anonymous rant.

let's see some benchmarks people! i'm interested.

Whats going to be cool, is XSOS 3.0, it will have a pretty much unix kernel, yet will still be able to use aero, dx10, and windows apps? And it doesn't have all that bloated crap like UAC and MediaCenter.

Ohuhmm...when looking closer to your post I see I did a mistake, my bad.

It was directed to those who (as usual) thinks that if you have cleaned out Windows have used that POS vlite/nlite.

Nlite/vlite is for the non-brained ppl, it's allways better, safer, more fun and more educational to do it yourself.

What the hell is this thing?
Is it a vista like os or something else?

It's a ripped Vista Ultimate.

Meant for those that can't stand the bloat and needs to play coming DX10 games.
