With XP all that setup uses is JUST the i386 folder and none of the folders outside of it. Not only that but the lang, Win9xMig, Win9xUpg, and WinntUpg are not even used... Thats why my base image is soo small. The 383megs is via HAND cleaning without use of nLite (Its what we used todo before nLite) After MODERATE nLite-ing my image is @280 megs. Thats without the loss of any functionality... Things like this: Media Center Music Samples Old CDPlayer and Sound Recorder Speech Support Tablet PC ;# Network # MSN Explorer Windows Messenger ;# Operating System Options # Blaster/Nachi removal tool Extra Fonts File and Settings Wizard Help and Support Search Assistant Service Pack Messages Tour All of these are either: A: Outdated OR B: Commonly replaced Also as for the addons look at it this way: Would you like to use a 100 meg file that has x64 bit code and components that already exist PLUS code for another half dozen so OS's? Or you can use a 10 meg addon that has only the needed files for XP and the internal .inf files greatly cleaned and optimized? We have been at this a very long time and am pretty good at what we do.
