Windows Through all the Windows and Microsoft bashing on the intertubes, it's almost easy to forget that Windows does, in fact, have quite a few positive aspects as well. One of those aspects is the modularity of its installation system, which allows you to create your custom installation image of Windows - with relative ease. Sadly, Microsoft decided to keep this ability away from normal users, making it a sort of OEM tool only. Lucky for us, there's a tool called vLite/nLite which allows us to slipstream fixes, applications, and drivers into the installation image as we please. This functionality of course also made its way to the 'underground' community, who used it to produce something called TinyXP. APCMag decided to take a look at it.

Nice idea. The "make restore DVDs" just bombed out on my Vaio leaving half burnt DVDs that were of no use at all. Go figure...

Maybe the first silly thing you did was purchase a Sony laptop - whose reputation is known for crappy reliability. Secondly, how did it 'bomb out'? saying without explaining provides me nothing.
