| 219056 | 2004-03-01 07:30:00 | Here's a trial version of the one I use: www.acronis.com I'm not sure if the trial version let's you make changes or not but I suspect that it may......in the meantime I'll keep looking for a freebie and post here when I find one. |

| 219059 | 2004-03-08 13:30:00 | Thanks for the responses to my original post. What I'd still like to see is a professional review of the product, by PC World staff, in the magazine. I am still curious why such reviews are not already online, perhaps this product - for all its professional look and price has legal problems. The strange thing is that it is much easier to find a cracked version on the net than the legitimate product. | Waltzzz (3972) | ||

| 219061 | 2004-03-15 02:11:00 | I have been using Windows NT4 on old computers in place of W95. NT4 is very reliable and compact, but lacks up to date software. I think that XP lite may be a good stable alternative. |

The makers of the program state that it is possible to make XP itself take up under 350MB if you completely strip it down. Thats more shrinkage than a swim in a cold pool while viewing nudie pictures of Oprah can produce!" :^O Also on a new XP install AtomicXP is really good for getting rid of a few annoying "features" xp has. |

| 219063 | 2004-03-15 07:06:00 | I downloaded XPlite and used it with the following results. OS XP Professional. Original size of Windows folder = 1.14gb Original Ghost Image Primary partition = 918mb Size of Windows folder after treatment = 1.02gb Size of Ghost Image after treatment = 977mb It only removed small items & left a trail of dead links & over 200 errors in the registry. I did this twice, the first time I removed the SP1 files & the whole thing fell over. I have Ghosted it back to the original. XPlite does not seem to address any of the annoying & risky items which "XP-Anti Spy" does. XPlite claims to be able to remove IExplorer, I doubt that it can because it is used for the file manager etc. Anyway it is needed because most editors use it by default, also it is a very good Browser. I am dissapointed with it, certainly not worth $39US! I will stick with NT for the older computers, Ghost file size 46mb. |
