More Info:
----------
If you are regular user you will not notice any difference between my lite and full-featured Windows7.
This OS is intended to be used as an every-day OS. That's why I've cut as little as possible features.
An autoattended.xml file is inserted into the image to automate the process of Windows 7 installation:
Language: EN, name: Administrator, PC name: IK-PC, time: UTC+2h. All of these can be changed later on.
You need only to point to an empty partition or format one & in 10-15 min Windows should be installed.
FEEL FREE TO USE AND ENJOY MY WINDOWS 7 x64 LITE WITH SP1 AND IE9!
