Slimming Windows 7 by 7 Embedded


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if perhaps 7 Embedded is not that much different (if at all) than Windows 7. It could be used to create a "7Lited" or slimmed down version of Windows 7? Or perhaps it would be a good starting point from which to remove even more components by expanding the capabilities of 7 Embedded. Here is a list of removable components in Windows 7 Embedded.
