I have a thing for slimming stuff down. It's fun to see how much fat can be cut & still have something work.

Now what to do next?

I can get a fully functional GNU/Linux system with x server running in under 70mbs, step up senpai

Duh, because linux is wonderfully modular and documented. Windows is more of a challenge.
Hilarious.

Distro, filesize, display server, WM/DE?
Anybody can take a kernel, statically linked copy of busybox & htop & call it light. But how functional is it?

Sorry, playing in VMs, been counting file size for disk space. What is your install size?
>>55000228
last version that can be slimmed down is xp
>>55000595
Explain.
>>55000228
Start with Windows N Pro.
Disable telemetry settings, sc delete crap, remove getting started, all other apps, disable hiberfile and sysfile... update us

Without distfiles it's around 8 GB. Disfiles themselves take up 17 GB at the moment.

This is an Enterprise VM. Already done what you've listed. Gutted universal shit (Mail is a surprisingly stubborn one to get rid of.), trimmed drivers down to just my machine's hardware and Hyper-V drivers, OS compression function, as well as NTFS's compression on the windows directory (as much as it would allow without fucking permissions).

I'm gutting windows because it's a challenge, and asked for an explaination as to why XP is the last slimmable version of Windows.
