Windows 10 Ameliorated
What Is This Project?
Windows 10 AME aims at delivering a stable, non-intrusive yet fully functional build of Windows 10 to anyone, who requires the Windows operating system natively. Spyware systems, which are abundant in Windows 10 by default, have not been disabled using group policy, registry entries or various other workarounds – they have been entirely removed and deleted from the system, on an executable-level. This includes Windows Update, and any related services intended to re-patch the system via what is essentially a universal backdoor. Core applications, such as the included Edge web-browser, Windows Media Player, Cortana, as well as any appx applications, have also been successfully eliminated. The total size of removed files is about 2 GB.
Great effort has been invested in maintaining the subsequent system’s stability, bug-free operation and user experience, as many of these removed services conflict with core Windows 10 features.

I am very interested. Anyone try it? And I AM a techtard. I will be forced onto a windows 10 laptop today or tomorrow.
How kewl and awesome.
In reading the FAQ, this Windows 10 Ame is something else...it looks like they are taking the same approach as was taken with 98lite only with steroids.
back in the day, I worked on a project called 98lite, started by a guy named Shane Brooks,
He effectively disengaged IE from Windows 98. (Where Bill Gates told the feds couldn’t be done)
Brooks’ team then built a program that not only installed a sleek version of windows 98 (Windows 98 without all the crap) but you could pick and choose what Windows programs you wanted to be installed or not installed.
Testing it was a gas. I ran it on a DX4-120 with a win98 install of less than 42mb.
Ran faster than some Pentiums- part of the reason is we ran Win98 with the Win95 (swapped in the Win95 shell) version of Windows Explorer.
Sure would like to try this but...not into it anymore.
