Most software gets better with every new release, Some new releses get bigger, some get smaller. But Microsoft go for bigger... Sometimes it gets better (About every 5 years) but they just make it bigger and add simple things. Some things get bigger and better but Microsoft just get BIGGER.
Dos 2.01 command.com=6k
Dos 6.22 command.com=60k
Funny eh...
Windows 95 about 30/50M
Windows 98 about 210/300M
Funny eh...
Windows ME about 600m
Windos 2000 about 800m
Windows XP about 1 gig (not sure)

Red-Hat 7.2 (has more apps with it)
250m/2.5gig MORE APPS NOT BLOASTED
The usual Red-Hat install (with more apps then windows) is about 1.5gig
Windows XP with office and all the usual crap that you must download, includeing service packs can be 5 gig.

its because windows has certain "deals" with intel, Microsoft makes their software bigger and need it needs the newest intel hardware, Intel makes its processors suit windows in return.

i also believe that there is a government conspiracy behind this: The government is secretly making microsoft, put in hidden "holes" and keys within windows, so that they can take control, or look at everything inside your computers. The exact reason they want to do this is yet to be determined.

Mmm check the times on thes posts. I think that Microsoft like to use numbers to make people like there stuff like the XBOX is a 32bit 733mhz cpu
and the Gamecubes CPU is about 400mhz but its 128bit
and its alot faster than even some P4 CPU's

You guys are a little far-fetched.  If the government were friends with Microsoft, then why did they sue them?

Hmmmm, but why would Microsoft be the choice of the teleban if the where owned by the US government...
Maybe Bill Gates runs the teleban... And the Sep 11 attacks where just to fight some Compitition.
Anyway this Jonson Defay song is Fucking good. Good work calum. Have you thought of starting a band or something.

Bill Gates in on heroin... We dont give a fuck.

taliban? or al-quaeda? two totally different things...

ANyway, maybe whomever these terrorists are don't give a shit whose software they use? they may not have time to be arsed thinking about the political ramifications of their software when they are literally trying to write history themselves. Personally i think it's sloppy not to pay attention to detail like that, i'm sure Stalin or Hitler would have been meticulous down to the last detail (Hitler used IBM's software, hardware and engineers, but that's another story). Still, those are the sort of times we live in!

Re: Johnson DeFey, thanks very much, but as i say, those songs do lack a certain something due to being a bit old. New ones will appear on that page in a month or two. On the other hand, if any of you want to get the current older versions, you better get your skates on and download them, because as soon as i have done my newer versions, these old ones are going in the bin!
