Software tool that strips Vista....
Software Tool Strips Windows Vista To Bare Bones -- Windows Vista -- InformationWeek:

... also is one of the major causes of patch install failures in the newsgroup.

Install them. Don't muck them up by trying to use third party tools and you get the best experience and best patching experience.

Install Vista's as is. Don't muck the Vista OS (or any OS for that matter) by attempting to streamline it, hack it up or change it. Because what I've seen over and over again in the newsgroup that when it comes time to patch it on Patch Tuesday, permissions are screwed up, folders that it thinks should be there aren't there and other patching oddities. Time and time again, Vista patches and works the best when you use the OS without a hacking up, with the Vista firewall. And so far my Intel Core2 Duo CPU from HP is noticably peppier than the Home HP that has a lesser graphics card. And the price tag of the HP was right in line with what we normally pay for machines that we expect to hang on and hand down for 4 years or more.
