no answer by nuhi can be interpreted in different ways, I made my choice. (it seems that he has not posted anything since august 2008...) as m$ has obviously no interest in making windoze anything like fast, slim, portable or transparent (they like it sticky, bold, non portable, and diffuse), they certainly have an interest in getting rid of nlite/vlite (and avoiding 7lite). and eating more resources is a "smart motor" for harware sales. I will use my nlited xp as long as possible.
