DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT WAREZ OR ANYTHING ILLEGAL. I AM SUGGESTING REPLICATING THE METHOD USED TO CREATE MICROXP WITH MY OWN COPY OF XP. DO NOT POST ANYTHING SUGGESTING ILLEGAL PROCUREMENT OF MICROSOFT'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY!!! I DON"T WANT THIS LOCKED. Apologies for the all caps, but I felt I needed to make my point very clear. So I am a mac user looking to redo my bookcamp/VMware installation of xp to be as efficient as possible. nLite offers a dizzying amount of customization, even with the excellent hints. What I need is 1) internet, 2)Games (including Steam), 3).NET development environment 4)CAD programs. Would I be better off experimenting with nLite until it fits my needs or trying to DUPLICATE someone else's version like MicroXP? I figure with my own tweaks could get a more customized system for my needs, but other people know more about how to slim down xp than I do, so it might be easier and better to duplicate someone else's config. Does anyone know of a better configuration or guide to configuration than duplicating MicroXP?
