vlite go, a must do.
Removing Windows Search via vlite, actually has erradiated the hdd thrashing vs. just disabling the service after a regular install. Night and day difference.
I used a MSDN Vista DVD last Sunday that had SP1 already integrated. Not an issue...One potential problem with that suggestion is you might not be able to install SP1 if you use vLite, so you potentially lose out on those fixes.
Well I wrote an article on, What to do After a Fresh Install of Windows XP. Its not Vista but it may help you...
Not by default.One HUGE change is the functionality of the built-in Windows firewall. Where the XP one was only unidirectional, Vista's works both ways, and is actually pretty darn effective.
vlite go, a must do.
And as I already said, you use an already SP1 integrated ISO.Not by default.
And even though people griped and moaned for inward bound protection, I'd say most don't use it... simply way too naggy.
Like already said, Microsoft has an article out there that folks who use that may not be able to upgrade to SP1.
Just a warning to the OP... don't be surprised if you can't.
After Vista's installed, just disable System Restore and the Windows Search service, and you've fixed it.
And as I already said, you use an already SP1 integrated ISO.
There's no need to be using something like vLite, especially with the risks. We aren't all running 20 GB hard drives anymore, so I still don't get the point of vLite, or even nLite for that matter. Nlite, to some extent, had a great purpose, of letting you add in drivers for storage controllers. However, given that Vista can load these drivers from a USB flash drive, leave well enough alone.And as I already said, you use an already SP1 integrated ISO.

There are plenty of reasons to use vLite/nLite, and none of them that I can think of are about hdd space or storage drivers. Storage/RAID driver support is built into Vista, all ICH8R and 9R boards I've used have worked right off the disc. Well... I think 9R, maybe I've only put it on 8R mobos... can't remember.There's no need to be using something like vLite, especially with the risks.

Search service = indexing???
You don't. In XP some people turned of indexing to 'supposedly' speed up their system speed, like how tweeking the page file = performanceSeems like forgetting something else besides system restore is there something else to turn off?
Also what does Search service do and why would I turn it off?
did you guys disable Volume shadow copy?
