Haha wow, just ****ing wow.

Yeah, but that's not a bad thing anymore.If I say I lolled, does that make me even more of a geek?
It's giving you freedom that Microsoft themselves don't give you. That's pwning.I don't see how this is pwning, I've used vlite half a year ago when I installed Vista on my pc (Using XP again). All it does is removing some parts, so what?. New features of Vista may be big, yes.. But I seriously don't see how this is pwning. Sure 15gig is big, and 1.3 - 1.5gig is hella lot better, but removing some pretty big features on the installation, is not pwning at all.

Even if it has, that doesn't make it any less awesome.Even though vlite has been out for ages.
I guess it removes uneeded processes. And that frees up RAM and CPU.Rendering probably won't get much faster with freeing up disk space. RAM and CPU are waaaay more important.
Exactly. I hear Vista, as it is now, runs so many background processes even when idle, that it's like running Half Life 2 in the background of everything you do. If that could be adjusted, I'd be much more convinced to upgrade to Vista.I guess it removes uneeded processes. And that frees up RAM and CPU.
Well, nothing new here. XP has been pwning Vista for over a year now.The Title said:Vista Gets PWNED

I might check this out... might. I'm pretty cozy as it is with XP, and should I tire of that, I need simply boot into Ubuntu.
In fact, Vista has so many issues that there is an entire page devoted to it on Wikipedia.

Touché.Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Windows_XP
Or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Linux
Or the criticism section of the Windows 9x, Windows ME articles.
No difference.
It's not running that many processes in the background, at least not a lot more than XP is. The problem is that some of the processes take a ****load of memory to use. Specifically 2, one being dwm.exe, which is basically the Aero desktop. The other being explorer.exe, which regulates the entire indexing thing Vista does(you know, for the instant searching of files on indexed disks.)The sidebar also uses a lot of memory. But as you can see all these things are more or less optional, so you can save some memory with that. But unless this mini version of Vista disables those (which I doubt, because they are the features that makes Vista, Vista) you probably won't save that much memory.Exactly.

This is not true. I don't know how many times I've heard this fallacious argument. Vista has higher requirements than XP, yes. But the high RAM usage (which is a good thing) is not indicative of that high requirement.It's not running that many processes in the background, at least not a lot more than XP is.

If you hold off long enough, you'll be able to get Windows 7.Eh, even if a lot of the stuff is superfluous, when I buy Vista eventually, I want my money's worth.
