[QUOTE="AntonScott, post: 806768, member: 62399"] Very true, but so is Windows 7, you only really need about 20% or less of Windows 7. Indeed using a system build tool I've got my Windows 7 down to 6 GB, by rebuilding it without the bloatware (it's a windows 7 ultimate system btw). A typical system would be 30 GB, the vast majority of which you will never use (or rather only gets used by malware). Though if you really want a small Windows 7 you can get you can get Win7 PE at 300 MB. The number of bugs in any program which provides a given service is proportion to L^b where L is the number of lines of code and b>1. That's because most bugs come from interaction between modules. A lot of effort goes into reducing b but it's still greater than 1. Every version of Windows which has ever been released has promised that it is 'the most secure version of windows ever' - it's marketing hype. [/QUOTE]
