The requirement of almost 8Gb of disk space is reduced to less than 3Gb.
This installation only takes up about 35% of the size of a normal installation
of Windows Vista. Many components have been removed from this edition of Windows, but you still have Microsoft's three main programs:
Internet Explorer 7
Windows Mail (Formerly "Outlook Express")
Windows Media Player 11
You also have the new Aero theme in this edition of Windows and the ability to use Windows Update.
There are no services taken out of this special edition of Windows.
Only three services have been disabled: Remote Registry, Windows Error
Reporting Service, Windows Search.
You cannot do an upgrade installation from this CD, because the upgrade files
have been removed. You can only install Windows by booting from the CD and
formatting your partition or hard drive.
The eXPerience folder on the CD contains the following three folders:
---DirectX DLL Files---
Despite Windows Vista being an absolutely massive operating system, it still
does not even include DirectX DLL files! What were Microsoft thinking? So if
you need the DirectX 9 DLL files (d3dx9_24/25/26/27/28/29/30/31/32/33.dll)
you can just double click the file in this folder to extract these 10 DLL
files to system32. This will keep compatibility with games you might have
stored on another drive from a previous installation.
---Ethernet Drivers---
Despite Windows Vista being an absolutely massive operating system, it still
does not even include some Ethernet Drivers! What were Microsoft thinking?
So if your Ethernet card is not working after installing Windows Vista and
it needs its driver installing, you can use the Ethernet Driver pack thats
included in this folder. Follow the instructions in the ReadMe.txt file.
After installing your Ethernet Card, see if your onboard sound is working,
IT PROBABLY WON'T BE, it seems Microsoft forgot to include Realtek AC97
sound drivers in Windows Vista, this is ridiculous considering almost
every motherboard in the world has Realtek AC97 sound! Its almost as if
Microsoft are trying to annoy people on purpose, they give you a 2.5Gb+
DVD sized Operating System WITHOUT Ethernet Drivers, Sound Drivers or
DirectX DLL files.
This unattended version of Windows is very easy to install.
You can only install this edition of Windows onto a formatted partition or hard drive, in other words, you cannot do an upgrade installation from within Windows.
This edition of Windows is heavily modified for the best possible user experience, with more than 120 registry tweaks, you can see all the details of the changes made by looking at the file "5 - Custom Tweaks.htm" that is in the Release Info folder in the eXPerience folder on the CD.
