Microsoft Speaks Up About vLite

We have already talked about the great tool created by a Croatian student which allows slim down of Windows Vista features upon installation. Apparentle, Microsoft is not happy about it and says in an email to CNet:

Microsoft does not recommend using any tool to strip out applications from Windows Vista prior to installing it on your system, as it may affect your ability to download future Windows updates and service packs, and may cause your system to become unstable

From the looks of it, vLite may no longer appeal given that Microsoft is going to clamp it down via policies. There may be technical problems when updating Windows especially when the component being updated is not found in Windows Vista and I don’t think Microsoft is going to edit their program to accomodate strip down Vista other than their basic version.
