Seems like there's a need for someone to create tools that strip the latest windows release down to a minimal install, convert all of the smart features back into db menus, standardize the locations of options, and give you opt-in features instead of opt-out.

I think at least the first one kind-of exists, but I haven't tried Tiny11 so it really couldn't say if it does; at the very least it shows that Windows ISOs can be modified.
