TinyXP / TinyVista / Tiny7
Have any of you guys tried them?
I've tried Tiny7 but disliked how it wasn't even comparable (in terms of features and support of some features) because it didn't work with my Dial-Up wireless broadband ;-; TinyXP boasts to use only 40MB RAM and TinyVista boasts to use only 200~ish MB ram :| I'm going to try TinyXP on an exFAT partition though I'm not sure if it's supported. |
I have never heard of the TinyOS series.

You have to go through a torrent site to get them, and they are highly illegal. I haven't tried them, and have no desire to as about 90% of the features you will look for will be missing. Not recommended. If you're looking for a free OS, then look for someone who has an image of the Windows 7 OS DVD and get a key from Microsoft. It's pointless to use a stripped down Windows installation when you can just as easily go through your current installation and look through the services menu and turn off what you don't need and have the option to turn them back on should you need to. And, as I already stated, it's highly illegal.

TinyVista is almost exactly like normal Vista only slimmed down. TinyXP is now exactly like XP with all the security updates and such. Just slimmed. :P I am going to put TinyXP on my new harddrive when I get it. |
Why not just use nLite or vLite? They're way better than TinyAnything (I say this having used both).
Sorry, I was thinking of something else, I believe. The first part is still true; you have a greater degree of customization with nLite or vLite, and can trim the installation down by removing what you think is unnecessary. |
I would go with the TinyXP i have a nomal XP
|
I've never heard of it but if linkinpark187 is saying that it's illegal I'm not going to risk it one bit
:t354:TG |
Didn't you guys learn *anything* when Vista SP1 came out and all these 'TinyXX' and 'xLite' installs were unable to install the service pack?

My netbook couldn't run that. o: My netbook has a 2GB SSD. Oh well, I would put TinyXP on it if I had a USB Optical Drive.

I can think of a few reasons why to strip out parts of the OS. Probably the strongest one is security (though that's not why I do). The fewer components there are in an OS, the fewer ways there are for a hacker to exploit. For instance, removing IE and a lot of its related functionality stops about 60% of viruses cold. And while it is tied in somewhat closely with the OS (I believe in XP, help files would stop working, and the add/remove program dialogue wouldn't function), one of the benefits of the ReactOS project is that these things can be fixed with non-IE reliant stuff (the ROS add/remove programs is arguably better than the XP one, and there's a ROS file that can fix the help problem if you care about it). Not to mention when you remove that stuff, Windows installs faster and you have more room on your HDD for other stuff.
That's not to say there aren't downsides. If you remove a functionality that you later find you need, there's no way to add it back without reinstalling (AFAIK). And apparently there were problems with SP1 that I didn't know about, too. Plus, if you remove a security feature, you might find the OS is less secure instead of more secure. Quote:

well tinyXP wont have any SP compatibility issues because updates on it has ceased unless its a critical update :D and stripping an operating system of many of its features is perfectly justified :/ If you own XP, why cant u use TinyXP? Or TinyVista if you own Vista Thats not illegal because you can get similar results by tweaking your own operating system / install image, and doing that is not illegal |

Make more copies, aka burn your "light weight" versions. Though I guess this one can be questioned, as thats what you do with slipstreamed service packs as well. |

I never tried of these, or heard of em'.
Would someone mind explaining what are these? |

My view is that disassembly = reverse-engineering features removing features = deleting/destroying said features ∴ removing features is fine. In fact, law in my country enables my friends to edit copyrighted DVDs to suit their tastes as long as they don't distribute them. |
