    I swear by nLite... I can't stand a full install of Windows XP anymore. I cut like 200MB's if you were comparing the iso images. Also keep in mind that I integrate drivers specific to my desktop / laptop as well

    Okay, instead of saying 'cut xxx amount'.. why don't we say the full .ISO size?

    XP {for Eee PC}: 380MB - SP3, Vista sounds, wallpaper, themes, integrated drivers.

    Vista.. don't have my desktop so I cannot comment.
