After trying various other versions of ripped Vista OS under 1GB, I was dissapointed to find no supprot for Printers, also Windows Media Centre was removed and no sidebar. So I decided to build the Ultimate gaming and HTPC Vista with everything you need with out the bloated Vista junk, I personally have used this version for several months with no issues and really solid, super fast and light on the resources.

Ultimate gaming and HTPC vista, super fast and reliable, increased speed while gaming and general PC use. After install download updates and install, turn off auto updates, then use vista activator supplied in rar file.

This version includes the following important items:
Only 780mb ISO
Intergrated SP1 into OS (not an add on)
Windows dream scene
Aero theme
Windows media centre (full support for TV tuners with your own drivers)
Windows sidebar
System restore
Printer support
All hardware support
More than %50 reduced memory used by Vista
Minmum 265mb ram required only
Only 2.4GB hard drive space required for install
Super fast install time, 10-15 minutes
Can be installed only from bootable DVD, no manual install option available.
