The process may seem a tad long and arduous, but the final product is well worth the work. The tool is remarkably easy to use, and even with heavy tweaking, it does a good job of making sure you don’t remove anything that’s going to screw up your system. You can even create a disc that includes Service Pack 1 (through a process called “slipstreaming”) so you don’t have to sit through hours of Windows updates every time you install Windows on a new machine. You can remove Windows features you don’t want, add drivers you know you’ll need, add or remove items from the Control Panel and right-click menu, and lots more. RT Se7en Lite (yes, the name is insane) is a configuration tool that lets you edit your Windows install disc. If you’d rather have a slimmer installation of Windows, you can create your own Windows installer with RT Se7en Lite-complete with tons of other customizations so you can turn Windows into your dream OS. It comes with a whole host of programs, features, and services that, best case, take up unnecessary space, or worst case, slow down your machine. Windows is great, but it isn’t exactly what you would call lean.
