So, after firing up vLite, it turns out that more than 1 GB, yes 1 GB of the Vista DVD is dedicated to languages and localisation. Now while this may be interpreted as a good thing, ie. at least Microsoft caters to everyone, they could at the very least make language specific versions, so that much less than a quarter of the DVD is just languages, it just seems like a lot of unnecessary data for a mostly English market...
I think, in the end, I managed to gleen nearly 2 GB's worth of stuff off of Vista's DVD, which will (hopefully) mean a leaner, faster Vista for me when I install it over the top of HP's install. No more *$&%ware hanging around for me!
