I've always wanted a minimal windows NT build . Sounds like one's already there : MinWin. 开发者_运维知识库Can anyone tell me the exact design or architecture of MinWin and is it used in Windows 7 ? Windows Server 2008 already has a minimal Core build available for deployment . Why not Windows 7?
Windows Server 2008 R2 also has the same core build available for it.
Windows 7 is a client OS and it's highly unlikely that anyone would ever want to use a "core system" version of it. For instance the core server SKU doesn't have the ability to use any video cards beyond the basic VGA driver or have a shell - the only UI is cmd.exe. There's no .Net framework, no multimedia, etc. As I understand it from what I've seen on the web, Minwin has even less functionality than core server does - from what I've seen, it doesn't even support graphics.
