 Windows Zen2 Edition
 
=================================
--==Disclaimer==--

This release was developed with the purpose of maintaining the utmost compatibility with programs and devices, while minimizing the installation time with removed "unnecessary" content. The release has been tweaked for a mixture of speed and compatibility. This release is not for everybody. For instance, all languages and Keyboards (with the exception of the defaults) were removed, as well as Windows Media Player, Movie Maker, the default games and other applications. Some of your programs may not work. If you are dissatisfied with the results, use another OS. Plain and simple.
