Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Just throwing this out there. No idea if it's of any interest.

I know of them.  

I bought a few copies of 98-lite from them back in the day.

98-Lite...

Worked well to de-bloat Windoze - even back THEN!

EDIT: It was 98Micro that I used, which is a version of 98-lite, sliced up to the minimum install size.  About 42MB all up.  Pretty slick!

Twenty years ago, I wanted XPe (embedded) for my control systems but MS wanted me to jump through ridiculous hoops and so I went with the XPlite version.

I would *pay* to run any version of Windows? Don't you think there's enough problems with my sanity?

I did say: "....back in the day."      

Would I do this NOW?

No.  I'd go directly to Puppy Linux or Tiny Linux or something like that, but back then, Linux was totally alien to me and Windoze was all I knew.

Times change.
