"Customized Windows XP Vista Unattended Fully Updated High Performance Stable Version - Final Edition" rnrnIntroductionrnrn- Prepared From Windows XP Corporate Edition. rn (So 100 % Genuine, no need of activation or any crack. please don\'t apply any crack as it doesn\'t need one and doing that may affect your system\'s stability.)rn- 353 MB Size only.rn- All Language And keyboards Supported (On request from many people)rn- Fully Updated Till 13th Mayrn- previous Built : Customized windows XP ( search it on torrent sites, and you will find the difference)rn- For Screen shots, go to : http://picasaweb.google.com/customized.windows.xp.vista/CustomizedWindowsXPScreenshots/photo#s5075833257703895218rnrnrnWhat Has Been Updated And WhyrnrnAll Windows Security And Critical Updates : To ensure best performance and protection. And since updates have been directly integrated into installation cd, this leads to better windows registry and performance, instead of updating windows xp manually.rnrnrnWhat has Not Been Updated And WhyrnrnInternet Explorer : Who needs Internet explorer when Firefox is there. ( If you want Internet Explorer 7, you can update it yourself (have been tested, updates well), but believe me, you won\'t ever need it once you start using Firefox.)rnrnrnrnWhat Has Been Removed And Whyrnrn# Games # (Do You Ever These Stupid Games Microsoft Provides)rnGamesrnInternet GamesrnPinballrnrn# Screensavers #rnrn# ClipBook Viewer #rnReally of no use.rnrn# Drivers # (Since i had to keep languages and keyboards, i decided to remove these so as to keep size small, and also all printers & scanners use their own drivers, and these drivers supplied by Microsoft are obsolete and old now.)rnPrintersrnScannersrnrn# Windows Media Player #rnWho needs WMP when there are far better players like Mediamonkey, iTunes, Songbird and others. And if you need this, simply install WMP 10 or 11. (No problem in installation, has been tested.)rnrn# Windows Movie maker #rnDo you ever feel like using this software from last Century ? Lots others and better are available if you want to edit videos.rn rn# Luna Desktop Theme #rnIn place of this, 5 more beautiful themes have been integrated :rn 1. Windows Vista Basic(Default)rn 2. Windows Aerorn 3. Mac OS Xrn 4. Luna Royalern 5. Vistarnrn# MSN Explorer #rnNobody ever needs it.rnrn# MSN Messenger #rnYou don\'t need it. Even if you need it, you can install the latest Windows Live messenger.rnrn# DR Watson #rnWindows debugging engine which starts up whenever explorer crashes just to document the problem. It itself takes up 125 MB RAM further crashing the system.rnrn# Shell Media handler #rnWindows uses it to create thumbnail image of video files, which causes frequent explorer crashes. Removing this also increases browsing speed of your video files.rnrn# Help and Support #rnReally of no use. Takes up lot of disk space. Also, removing it deceases installation time and decreases explorer RAM requirements. rnrn# Manual Install and Upgrade #rnThis means you can\'t install this version as an upgrade. It can be installed on freshly formatted drive. (Removed this because people had problem upgrading. So i removed it so that unexperienced people don\'t run in trouble while upgrading. An also, fresh installation gives the best performance.)rnrnrnWhat Has Not Been Removed And WhyrnrnI have seen lot of torrents on Internet in which people have removed even useful drivers and services and network utilities, but i am not going to do this because it really help only in decreasing the size of Windows XP cd, otherwise it only causes problems, specially to a normal user. I have removed only things which are really not needed, and removing them rather increases performance of system.rnI haven also not removed any language or Keyboard layout in this edition. (On request from many people).rnrnrn# What Softwares Have Been Added #rnrni have added only 4 things which everyone needs irrespective of their work domain.rnrn1. 7-ziprnThis is the best decompression software in terms of speed and performance (even better than Winrar). And whats more, it is open source. and zips/unzips every format.rnrn2. Control Panel UtilitiesrnNamely Bootsafe, Bootvis, CPU-Z, MSConfigClear Type Tuner, startup control panel, TweakUI, regedit, MS virtual CD ROM etc. Really handy in configuring your system.rnrn3. UtilitiesrnCalculator Plus, Image Resizer, Notepad2, Unlocker.rnrn4. Kerio Personal FirewallrnThis firewall is the best firewall i have ever seen in my life. I have tried all firewall available, namely Zone Alarm, Sygate and others. They do provide good protection but they also take up lot of RAM. This firewall takes up only 5 MB RAM and provides most advanced protection.rnrnYou can configure a program access not just to Internet, rather even a single address, or port (local or remote), both inbound and outbound. Even Zone Alarm Pro doesn\'t have this. rnrnThis software is not available anymore. I found this gem in some abandoned repository of softwares.rnrnNote : If you don\'t know how to configure firewall notification / you are a normal user, please uninstall this and use windows firewall. (Start it from control panel, has been turned off by default).rnrnrnrn# What Has Not Been Added And Why #rnrnI have seen lots of windows xp torrents in which people adds lots of extra softwares. But i have not done so because different people have different choices and you should install other softwares as you wish. Then you must be surprised as if why i added Kerio Personal Firewall. The answer is that you can\'t install this piece of beauty yourself as it is no longer available.rnrnrn# Modification To Improve Performance And Security And Usability #rnrnBoot and Shutdown-Auto-End

I have created this version after lots of possible configurations. This is the best of all possible configuration one can create today.rnrn2. Since I am a Computer professional and i have installed this on 100\'s of computers and laptops on my clients, and none of them have ever come with even a single complaint. Rather they always say that this version\'s performance is better than others they have used. i am myself using this on laptop.rnrn3. I am a strong believer of file sharing philosophy. So just wanted to share this with others.rnrnrn# About Viruses And Spyware #rnrnSince me being one of you, thats is, a file sharer, i have no interest in infecting anyone\'s computer. So don\'t be frightened if someone posts that it contains virus or spyware, because all these things are posted by people funded by organizations who are against file sharing and by Microsoft itself, so that people don\'t share files.rnrnrnrn# A Request #rnrnPlease don\'t restrict your upload speed while you download and keep seeding once you download (this is only how file sharing survives) and do write in your experiences on this post.rnrnrnrnThanksrnCyneuron
