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.

I still have some old Win98 computers.
Would you happen to know where I could get 98lite for them?
