Lets fire it up and chat through a set of options. There are LOTS of things you can remove IF you want to. ttfn David http://UKSBSGUY.com Vlad,

I know dozens of people that have rolled back because of UAC prompts before we outright started shipping them with UAC prompts disabled for Admin accounts as a standard practice. I think having this type of stuff in hand would make the Vista a lot more appealing. How about we do it and record it.... what do you say? I pay in Microsoft swag :) -Vlad Dave,

Remember that there is a HUGE application portfolio out that which both slows things down (more testing by people) and also provides a great reason to use Windows. Perhaps we should go through the OS components one day and produce a "slim" version for you to test - what do you say. Vlad,
