Pizzaman, besides benching, can this OS still be used to game/browse/watch media etc? Just curious as I would like to strip mine down to yours when I grab a SSD, TIA.

Thinking the same thing.

Not that I need to with the size of my SSD and my 6gb ram, but ever since I started using Linux a few months ago I really like having minimal things installed.

Yes you can.

If you guys want, I can make a thread on what things to remove/keep for everyday usage. I also have a few links for integrating Windows updates since the OP didn't specify that.

Would be great!

Basically want to do a fresh install, I assume I have to make my windows 7 CD into a backed up ISO.

I'll wait for your thread, don't want to bother the benchers thread.
This might help my folding, thats why I am also interested also hate bloated OS since I have used linux.

+rep(if I could)
The BlackViper settings removed Aero, which I wanted to leave in.

You'll want to keep the networking stuff. This guide completely removes most the networking stuff.

Question - The "Services" section in the "Remove Features" gets rid of the service altogether as opposed to just disabling it, right?

Hey guys. Question. Will games and such still work? I primarily use my PC for gaming, surfing OCN and listening to music. I don't need all the other crap. With the stripped down version, will the core things I use work?
