   Which doesn’t solve the fundamental problem that Windows is not modular.   
   Sure, nLive lets you choose which bits of Windows to install, or not. What   
   happens when you change your mind later? Can you just add the missing bits,   
   or remove the bits you don’t want? Nope—you have to go through the whole   
   installation process again.   
      
   Linux package managers make this so much easier...
