I'm neutral about this, as I don't think the tool is popular enough to have an article here saying more that can be found on its own homepage. OTOH, I don't see any particular reason to remove it either. Is it seen as advertising? What I can say is that it is gaining more and more popularity as Microsoft progressively increases the number of "hard-coded" programs bundled with its OSes. Probably most users find nLite when searching the Internet for a way to remove Internet Explorer. In any case nLite is already cited among external links in many Windows related or installation-related articles on Wikipedia such as Slipstream (computing), Removal of Internet Explorer and even Windows XP. In the end it's not a totally marginal software product, though nothing as popular as, say, Winzip either. --Gennaro Prota 01:37, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
