We all know that Windows Vista consumes a lot of resources. It reduces your PC's performances in terms of storage, memory and processor. Microsoft recommends 15GB of hard-disk space to install the OS. For some people that could be too much. A Croatian student, Dino Nuhagic wondered "Who can justify a 15GB operating system?" And he did something about it. Nuhagic developed a software called vLite that can strip Vista of useless components.
vLite is a free software and allows users to choose Vista components, hot fixes, drivers, and even language packs are installed. Then it builds a disk image that can be burned to a DVD. The software can reduce Vista to 1.4GB, the effect being the performance.
"Why did I do it? Well, it's performance and work environment," Nuhagic said when asked why he came up with vLite. "Performance, that's easy to explain. The less things running, the more responsive the OS."
However, if you thought of using this software, you should know it is destined for average users at least. Besides, Microsoft does not recommend using any tool to strip out applications from Windows Vista, because you can damage it. Use it or not, it's your call!
