I have succesfuly used vlite to create a smaller distribution for myself based on Windows 7 Home Premium,because i want to have aero glass too. the problem is that when i remove media center it also kills my MCE remote, wich isn't recogniste by windows or update if the MCE component is removed. I need the remote ,i use it on other media players, but i don't wanna keep MCE eighter. I found out about this problem after i createad 2 vlited dvds , one with MCE and one with out. after testing them , i found out that MCE remote control support is killed if you remove MCE.
