You can also remove it, and a lot of other microsoft crap such as outlook express, using a program called XP Lite. :) Might wanna give it a go, see what else you might wanna remove.

As far as i know, it remoces every part that won&#39;t disrupt the OS from working...

(I don&#39;t recomend removing windows media player, after i removed it WMV files stopped playing altogether (couldn&#39;t find a codec for it) and moveis in firefox or IE (online videos) wouldn&#39;t play anymore....

Apart from creating more space does removing Microsoft products offer any benifits such as less ram used or quicker, cleaner preformance?

Some things will imporve performance, like if u dont have indexing service disabled then obviously you wil see an improvement after uninstalling it. ;)
