Hi,
Is there a "Legal" (Supported) way to shrink the FootPrint of vista on the C
Drive (Removing Binaries completely from the image) ?

All i've found was vLite, which did a great job, but made my image not
supported by Microsoft

Thanks.
Or.

Any such utility won't be supported by Microsoft. Personally, I'd say that
if hard drive space is that big an issue you need a larger hard drive.

Isn't there a way to remove things like "Games" or "Tablet PC Support"
Permenantly, using an unattend.xml file to free more space ?

And Do you know if the MS Stand on it is official (You cannot remove
components from Vista) ?
