Highlights:

Major deletion of hundreds of executable scattered throughout the system, which gather telemetry data, including the complete removal of Windows Update (universal backdoor)
Extensive group policy and registry modifications to further remove telemetry operations, and modify certain system behaviors to be more sensible
For good measure a massive fail-safe culmination of the various IPs and domains has been added to the hosts file, to further ensure no Windows telemetry leaves the system
Removed all apps (apx) including Cortana, Windows Store, Edge, Mail, Xbox etc.
Hardentools from SecurityWithoutBorders has been installed
The default user has been removed from the Administrator group

UI Modifications:

Major effort has been invested in ensuring that, although Windows is heavily modified, the experience feels as vanilla as possible minus the missing features, and not like some hacked together fan release. The following UI changes could be highlighted:

Modification of the task bar icons
Removal of the Notification Action Center from the UI (as it has been deleted from the system)
You get our malte wallpaper, deal with it

Note that the minimal system is extremely blank, and due to its missing browser, crippled start menu and other missing functionality, we don't particularly recomment this release.
