98lite Professional v4.7

Windows the way you really want it! Faster, more stable, more configurable!

98lite is a selective feature installer for Windows 98, 98SE and Me that modularizes Windows features, applets and sub-systems into optional components that may be user installed and un-installed "on-the-fly".

98lite works with all versions of Windows 9x and can be used to install a clean copy of Windows or can be applied to existing installations allowing you to reconfigure any system, any time, YOUR way.

Tailor your Windows installations to your hardware and needs for substantial improvements in performance, stability, and security by removing superfluous Windows code and features you don't want our use. 98lite makes Windows work for you; everything is optional and without risk; previously removed components can be effortlessly added back with a click of your mouse.

Great for running windows under emulation on linux (Vmware, Win4Lin) or macs (VirtualPC). Strip back the emulation layers and unleash the horsepower.
