Gerry, Yes you´re right. That´s why I recommended the OP to use "msconfig" to disable all unneeded apps and services that are not essential if he wanted to speed up Win7 loading. nLite is good... I´m a registered user since ´98lite´. Keep in mind, however, that you cannot do "magic"... and even the kernel is bigger... ie Win2K was designed to run even on 64MB RAM machines... that´s why when virtualizing Win2K on VBox I often assign it 128MB to 256 MBRAM... and that gives me plenty of functionality (usually for small development -build win32 versions of some Linux command line tools via cygwin or MinGW), which works well for me as I don´t use Microsoft compilers at all.... ). Unfortunately, even FOSS devs use Microsoft compilers to create win32 apps, so by following the MSVC releases, they jump aboard Microsoft´s ´API planned obsolescence´ and restrict their legacy OS support as well** (that wouldn´t be the case if they used OpenWatcom -www.openwatcom.org- whose executables do not end up requiring the MSVC runtime libs)....
