Easy install.....4 min. tops. Quicker shutdown & boot times.
IExploder, Gone. Outlook Useless, Gone.
Moderate list of removals (that you can add back at any time) that will continue to grow as I understand it.
No glitches so far.

Modular by design! - What comes out… goes back in!
What if you change your mind and want to reinstall one of the system components
that you previously uninstalled using XPlite? No problem! Each uninstaller is
coupled with an equally powerful installer so you can recover uninstalled
components. It is as easy as ticking a check box.
Source Files
============
When installing optional components, XPlite intelligently knows which files have
been updated by Microsoft Service packs. Your Operating system will have a cache
of Service Pack installation files occupying a considerable amount of space in
your Windows folder. If you remove these you will need to have a local source of
service pack files available for your operating system. If you purchased XPlite
on CDROM then we have included the most recent Service Pack (at the time of
purchase) on the CDROM. You can also download the full network installation from
Microsoft (Windows XP SP1 is over 100MB). Use the XPlite Preferences Dialog to
set the correct path to your Service Pack source files. You should *NOT* simply
point the Service Pack Source path to your Windows XP CDROM as this will result in
downgrading of system files on your computer and potentially the re-introduction
of bugs that were fixed by Microsoft in the Service Pack.
If you find the setup engine is asking you for the locations of your setup files
then you should set the location in the preferences tab.
Features
========
XPlite gives you full command over the Windows File Protection (WFP) feature.
Windows File Protection is a powerful Windows feature that prevents system files
from being overwritten by poorly designed application and driver installers.
However the side effect is that users are prevented from controlling their own
systems. XPlite has been specifically engineered to work with the WFP feature so
that changes to the system are monitored and continually protected afterwards.
XPlite must disable WFP in order to customize the operating system, but after the
system is set up the way you want you can re-enable WFP and continue with a
protected operating system.
You can read more about Windows File Protection on Microsoft's web site:

The Future
==========
As a licensed XPlite Professional customer you have access to our latest beta
files for the next version also. We will be adding a lot more features to the
add\remove list as well as some other very nice utilities that will scan the
driver files and weed out some redundancy.
Multilanguage versions are on the way also.
