    It's still pretty big when you compare it to, say, Pocket Linux or Freesco - both being single floppy... Or DSL which is 50Mb and is a full graphical OS, complete with HTTP server too.

    Not quite, there are slight variations on those - plus he did not mention the 3.1 which ran alongside OS/2 - [ WinOS2 ]
    The Windows 7 looks interesting - sort of looking back at early LAN Server type stuff from IBM.
    OS/2 and LAN server still knocked spots off the stuff MS released - shame they did not have the marketing skills MS did at the time...
