Does anyone keep a list of vendors like ECOHERO that sell machines with unbloated "minimal" Windows?
I do not know the answer to your question but I would be highly skeptical and leery of a random name site with no website and no credentials doing custom installs. This is akin to the days of pirating Windows on Usenet with slip-streamed patches and other customization tweaks by some random person.
That said, I like the idea of a stripped down install. There are some powershell scripts to do this but they often break things. I believe a much better solution would be a well documented site that shows how to network install a windows ISO and strip out garbage during the installation in a reproducible manor. Such things do exist, I just do not spend much time in windows and do not have such links handy. Perhaps the Microsoft admins here could add to this?
