Default V-lite "Vista" slipstreaming

Slipstreaming in short is pre-configuring your Vista installation disk using the orginal disk and this tool to customize vista or streamline it to you likings.

A short description here:
vLite is a tool for customizing the Windows Vista installation before actually installing it.

Main features are:
  • hotfix, language pack and driver integration
  • component removal
  • unattended setup
  • tweaks
  • split/merge Vista installation CDs
  • create ISO and burn bootable CD/DVD
Windows Vista from Microsoft takes a lot of resources, we all know that. vLite provides you with an easy removal of the unwanted components in order to make Vista run faster and to your liking.

This tool doesn't use any kind of hacking, all files and registry entries are protected as they would be if you install the unedited version only with the changes you select.

It configures the installation directly before the installation, meaning you'll have to remake the ISO and reinstall it. This method is much cleaner, not to mention easier and more logical than doing it after installation on every reinstall.

Curious? It actually works and requires a low level of Noob Common Sense. Give it a try here: http://www.vlite.net/about.html

I've been wondering how they make those custom windows downloads that I see. I'm playing around with one now called Windows Vista Eternity 2009 x64 and they did a pretty good job on it.
