tiny/nlite xp installation ?

[Wallace]

been reading that the bootleg tinyxp creates a small, fast
xp installation - same can be created legally with nlite and
want to know if anyone is using such an installion
what are the + / - benefits ?
does it improve the performance of other programs ?
does it improve the performance of a realtime charting/order entry program ?

I am using tinyXP version 9 with the bare install and it works well. My P4 with tinyXP renders web content faster than my Core 2 Extreme rig on bloated XP. I'll admit I don't fully trust that there isn't some keylogger buried in the OS. I use it for IB TWS with a dongle, but I wouldn't feel comfortable logging into banking.

I am going to use nlite this weekend, but it's a pre-install app.

i'll look at tiny 06 to see what he's done but will do it with a legal
MS xp and nLite but researching nlite and found this:

only read a bit but his point is some groups of files are deleted in
whole using nLite isn't the way to go since one or more files may
be required elsewhere
