The author of the popular nLite and vLite programs for trimming Windows XP and Vista down to size says he currently has no plans to release a similar tool for Windows 7.
And
although vLite does work with Windows 7 beta builds, there’s obvious interest in an updated program tailored for Windows 7. But don’t hold your breath.
“For now vLite for (Windows) 7 is unlikely purely due to lack of time” Dino Nuhagic told APCmag in an email interview. “With my new full-time job I don't have much time for my programs.”
While Nuhagic allowed that “this (situation) might change”, he says that Windows 7 is certainly a step in the right direction for those wanting a slimmer OS. “7 is better than Vista in regards of user-perceived performance. Also I like the bigger removable component list (in the Control Panel).”
But Nuhagic’s not ruling out the development of a 7Lite to trim the fat from Windows 7. “Until it’s Minwin with a few chosen components on top of it I will not rest! ” he writes.
