#2I actually used this to run Windows in a BOSCH emulator on my first smartphone - HTC TyTN II.
It was painfully slow and unusable for any practical purposes.

#3Silly it has such complex instructions, instead of a script.
Discourages me from even trying this... can't be that good if the person that made it couldn't even make a script.

#4I used to do this to have more space on my old machine.
Sadly I deleted my first drawings made in Windows Paint

This was a website of someone sharing a little passion project with the world. Not someone trying to convince you to do as they did because they are convinced that their way of doing things was the right way.

That was in 2003 when people could read and stuff more content into their head then one twitter tweet.

The instructions are hardly complicated and frankly I'm not sure it would be safe to write this in an 98 era batch file. eg removing any files not in a file list is a risky process in itself regardless of the constraints of DOS batch files.

#8I wish this was possible today. But I won't get a small Windows 10 distribution no matter how hard I try or how much I'm willing to pay.

#9Love this. Now someone show me how to make a nano Windows 10 installation without all the telemetry BS. Essentially the kernel only with custom explorer.exe.
Experimented with modding Hyper-V Server (the free one) with some success, but too many DLLs missing and multimedia functions don't work.
