What is the exact architecture/components of MinWin?
原标题:

I ve always wanted a minimal windows NT build . Sounds like one s already there : MinWin. 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.
