Believe it or not , within a week of someone shrinking Win 95 to 10 megs , someone else has done it and cut it down to 5 .

It's really a nice feat, but it's missing support for web browsing and sound in addition to other things.

Also, the msbetas.net site is down.

LitePC is working on removing non-essential items from XP using XPLite.
Their website is www.litepc.com

They already have a version called 98Lite for the Windows 98 line.

98 lite has been around for some time, it was only a matter of time before they did it with XP.

Yeah, although their 98lite is very crappy - it just removes Internet Explorer as a shell. No big deal.

Click to expand...

It does a bit more than that now...
It can remove almost every non-essential component of 98.
