You could do the "slimming" yourself with nLite and a CD of XP. Then you have more control over what is removed and what is not. Smile

um
you should really take a full retail version and use nlite on it yourself
relying on existing releses will leave you dependent on it and not allowing you to fix it when something is wrong with it
unexpected things, like removing dialup modems disables bluetooth internet
