Modifications: No Bonjour service, no iTunesHelper or iPodService at startup and no MobileMe support.
You can use it as usual without any worries. You can sync your player, update its firmware, listen to radio, etc.
As me and other members of MSFN Forum use them for unattended installations, they are switchless, meaning that when you double-click or execute the file, it will begin the installation without any other prompt. However, you will be able to see the current installation status.
All you need is QuickTime Alternative ( and in the meantime, use the add-on for iTunes 8 ) before installing this customized builds.
The Multilanguage build supports all languages. For English only, use the English version.
Latest version: 8.0.0.35

The developers of QuickTime Alternative released an add-on to solve the iTunes 8 compatibility issues. I made some testing with my x86 installers and they are working fine.
I will make x64 versions tomorrow and will upload all the builds.
Meanwhile, you can get the add-on here.

Realtek HD Audio Drivers 2.04.
If you ever get any problems when updating drivers you can use Driver Sweeper after you have uninstalled you current drivers to clean your system for left over files. After that, reboot your computer and install the new ones. This will reduce the chance of having driver issues.
