February 6, 200719 yr So we ALL know that Vista is a resource hog out of the box. For me it took around 500mb.I had to disable or manual set many services.Heres a list of what I did...Turned off UACDistributed Link Tracking - DisabledInternet Connection Sharing - DisabledOffline Files - DisabledRouting and Remote Access - DisabledSecurity Center - ManualTablet PC Input - DisabledWindows Defender - DisabledWindows Error Reports - DisabledWindows Event Collector - DisabledWindows Search - Disabled
February 6, 200719 yr To be honest, i don't think vista is worth it anymore if people start to rip it up from its bundled services, don't bother to get vista if your computer can't support it. For me, i went as far as getting an Alienware Area-51 ALX with my copy of Vista Ultimate, at least now i know im set for another 3-5 years.
February 6, 200719 yr Author The vlite utility is for the iso creation...Anyways some people just don't have 2gb of ram YET. Anyways thanks for nothing.
February 6, 200719 yr u can use vlite for removing some components of Vista (thus reducing bloat/footprint) and it can also disable UAC. Edited February 6, 200719 yr by anoymous_person
February 7, 200719 yr I have seen an iso of vista about 350 mb and runs easily on 256 mb of ram. All needed stuff is still in it.

There is simply no reason to consume resources with unused elements. There are plenty of reasons to get Vista even if new features are disabled: Aero, a re-written TCP/IP stack, WDM and DX10, and so on.By the way, I don't think anyone will be impressed by your purchase of a riced Dell
February 7, 200719 yr Author ^^ I have to agree with you kat. Just because Vista bloats doesn't mean we need to keep it that way. Just look at XP.... same evolution.
