Windows XP Source Tree

This is old but...

I wonder...someone here has to be familiar with the Linux source tree right?  Well, by looking at the above link, does this prove that Windows is really bloated?  (That is, are there too many files for as many fuctions as presented?)

They should compile it for i586 already... it's not like someone with a 386 computer would want to install Windows XP on it

lol I just noticed that  :D   Hell, they should compile it for i686, since a Pentium 1 can't run it very well either.  :D

not too long ago all major linux distros came compiled for i386, I know a lot of people use old pc's for linux but never the less they should compile a version for updated computers...

Oh just thought I should mention...running XP on a 386 is like running KDE on the same thing.  :D   Heck, KDE doesn't run that well on Pentium.  :eek:

Yes, but I think that some of the other CPU's (Cyrix, Transmeta, maybe even Athlon) would not work with the i686 instruction set ... I think the pentium instruction set is ok for most modern CPU's though.

That's just pure bullshit in my opinion. Maybe you ought to explain that.  :confused:
