    I was contacted a while ago for beta testing, but haven't had a reply to my response.

    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    Exactly. I say that we stop bothering nn about it, and just give it time. There would be no point for him to spend all this time programing it, and not release it. Give it time.

    getting kinda tired of the all waiting nothing deliver game, to my knowledge there has only been one media release. And any one that say they think it is all is bogus, can you really blame them?

    First post IIRC, after a good while lurking and learning on XS.

    This project sounds intriguing and just wanted to go on record as willing to beta test v3.0 if and when.

    What's he's doing appears to be way more than vLite too.

    Vlite is a good app in it self, but it will never be able to optimize resource usage as a selfmade build. (taken knowledge exists)

    The author of Vlite have to cater for all kinds of users, clever, stupid and even more stupid.

    I took a look on the xsos image some time ago (don't know what version it was).
    Looked like win2k stripped down with hfslip.
    HFSlip can be used to integrate hotfixes and sp's in an installer cd.
    In oposite to nlite/vlite it replaces all the dll's on the install media with the ones from the hotfixes. nlite/vlite integrates them during installation using silent install switches.
    HFSlip is just one big batch file mainly so it can be tweaked easy if you are familar with batch scripts under windows.

    We will see. Not sure what parts of the os is redesigned on a source base, but hfslip was used to strip down w2k for xsos 2 or to integrate the modified parts easy.

    Well maybe it hasn't taken long enough, and so YOU want it fast ok it'll end up exactly the same as normal vista then all slow n sluggish with bugs etc

    the point is it will take AS LONG AS IT TAKES not when you or I want it to sure I'm with you on it's taking a long time... but there not going to be doing it on purpose just to say HA look at those idiots waiting for it... We got told by NN that it will be coming out I trust his words and you should too, it's not his fault if things take longer then he originally planned although he didn't actually set a Date

    so

    beggars can't be choosers and just wait

    and/or install a Lite version of Vista for now

    Clearly it's not just stripping it out. It's being done properly, there's no use hassling him because it won't be any faster with that.
