vLite: This Windows Vista Tool Shrinks Vista’s Big Size Requirements

Windows Vista is Big

If you didn’t know already, Microsft Vista’s system requirements state that you will need 15GB just to install it. That is drastically more than what was required for Windows XP.

Luckily there is now a Vista configuration tool that allows you to modify the installation files in many ways, including making the size requirements much smaller.

It’s called vLite, and according to the vLite website it will even make Vista run faster. You can use it to strip out programs like Windows Media Player from the Vista installation process to reduce the space required to install Vista on your PC.

If you are really limited on space, you can even create a bootable Vista disc using vLite and avoid installing Vista altogether.

You can find out more about the vLite Windows Vista configuration tool, and download it here.
