can anyone tell me what is windows vista home premium lite retail or OEM 32 bit CD?

I was thinking of buying this

It's just a 700MB CD, do you know if it allows everything to be installed on it just like the standard windows vista home premium

Also does it include the windows media center built in?

many thanks in advance
 
you can't buy it, it's a cut down (vlite'd) version available on torrent sites.

thread needs locking..
 
Only references I can find to Windows Vista Home Premium Lite online are illegal torrents. Not sure where you found it to buy.

If you want to run a version of Vista without all the components installed, I would suggest purchasing a retail (DVD) version of Vista, then looking into vlite.
 
I was looking for a CD version of windows vista and found a torrent site with the lite and then i thought i could buy it so i came over here to ask you guys what it is.

So the lite cannot be bought at retail.

But is their not a cd version of vista?

I heard that microsoft can send you out a CD version
 
if they do, it'll be multiple CD's.

Microsoft do not have a version of Vista that fits on a single CD.
 
the normal vista release is on a dvd, i assume you've got a dvd drive as it's in your name :p


the cd's version is a pain in the butt to install (5x cd's to swap) and takes tons longer


if you get the dvd version, you can download vlite to create your own 'lite' disc, this is totally legal :), www.vlite.net it's a free program

This other PC that i want to install vista does not have a dvd drive and i don't really ever want one, i would prefer to use all the bays for hard discs. I mean right now i have a cd drive but want to remove it after i install vista.

Hi Bledd

Okay I bought the windows vista home premium retail DVD earlier today from the shops. I don't like the install size of 7GB that i hear from some people and i heard if i use Vlite i can bring it down to 3GB and somehow even right down to 1CD. By getting rid of a lot of the crap that comes with it.

So i have ripped the image to my hard drive, then extracted the files from the image to a folder, now i want to recompile it with vlite before i burn the disc and install it onto my hard disc. I've never used it so what should i do?

Do you know?

If you manage to get Vista down to 3GB let alone 700MB, you're not getting rid of crap, you're getting rid of features that make Vista good.
