Wow this is amazing a college student has made a program that will let you create your own choice Windows Vista programs, components, languages and burn them to a DVD that you can use to install the lighter version on you PC. This is cool. I wish I had thought of that.


A Croatian college student has created a utility that installs a seriously stripped-down Windows Vista, saying the heft of Microsoft's biggest desktop OS was just too big to believe.

"Who can justify a 15GB operating system?" asked Dino Nuhagic, a fifth-year student from Split, a Croatian city on the Adriatic. Not Nuhagic, or the uncounted users who have turned to his creation, vLite.

vLite, a free program that lets users pick and choose which Vista components, hotfixes, drivers and even language packs are installed, then builds a disk image that can be burned to a DVD for unattended installation of the operating system.

Nuhagic has been doing this for over 4 years. The software had been run and adapted on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
