well its mostly of no use to me.. like the old msn messenger, rather installing OS with it then later removing, why no do it once coz i use Messenger Live which is the newer one, also IE and WMP for starters.. theres alot more others that i dont need to use a newer version... which is why.. but i was able to install my stripped one using VMware when using the Guest Operating System as Other X64 OS and not has a Guest using Windows XP PRO X64 which is confusing me Thanx for the help
