2009-AUG Recommended by Fred Langa
On the August newsletter edition of Windows Secrets that counts with >400K subscribers, Fred Langa - author of the historical LangaList has recommended WinBuilder. Here is an excerpt of his article "Put your Windows installation on a diet":
Winbuilder sports a slicker interface, and I consider it the easiest of the three programs to use (nLite, BartPE and WinBuilder). An added feature of Winbuilder is its VistaPE option. The other two tools focus mostly on XP. You'll find a Winbuilder link on the company's download page.
With these three tools or similar utilities, you can produce a new, legit, stripped-down copy of Windows. You end up with a fresh, fast, small, efficient, and minimal OS.
So yes, John, it'll take a little work, but you can indeed produce a minimal build that contains only the components you need and no more!
