Sabr Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I have used TinyXP Rev 0.5. Worked pretty well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddM Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Make sure you do some research and ensure that the services disabled in TinyXP are ones you don't need. These services, in TinyXP, are not just disabled they are removed from the installation completely so you can't just turn them back on. I'm sure you'll appreciate that something this stripped-down is not going to be without it's bugs and flaws, too. I used TinyXP once, but the services needed to share files across a network weren't there so I reverted back to a vanilla XP SP2. If you don't need these services however, then TinyXP is definitely a great find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Some programs and drivers do not install on Tiny Xp (rev 05). However 99% of stuff does. It's a VERY barebones release, but it's good. The print spooler service is not switched on by default, you have to switch it on (to save RAM...crazy!)

Proteo Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I thought it was great for a slim VM... until I figured out there is no way to share files with the host, so it was just a waste of time for me. That was with first versions of Parallels, have things changed since then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 TinyXp is meant to be run natively, not virtually so you can expect that limitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmkgd Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I have no problems exchanging files with the host while using eXPerience's TinyXP (Platinum) or MicroXP as vmware guests, after installing vmware tools. Don't know about parallels though, not tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
