It is a os made form xp (illigal which I in no way indorse). it is called Tiny XP Beast Edition. it is a full windows xp sp2 os but with nothing else. it has no games, antivirus, firewall,ect. but it is great for a gaming pc or any pc it can use any windows based program. and it is amazing how little of the sys resources it uses. http://img59.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wownd4.jpg (sry bout link img wont post0 Im not saying go download this but i think it would be smart for micro$oft to do something like this. just a core os. it is kidnda like linux (in size and memory usage) but can run any windows program Dose anyone else think this is a good idea?
It IS XP, a custom install w/ everything stripped out. There are a dozen or so varieties floating around, some as live-discs similar to what you get from mepis/linspire/ubuntu, some as minimalistic installs, such as this one. Good luck updating it...lol. windowsupdate.62nds.com should work though. And...it's illegal as anything. M$ doesn't distribute versions like this because they WANT you to have all the other garbage installed and turned ON by default.
