Isn't it just bizarre how unbelievably bloated these windows systems are? 5 GB compressed image size, and nothing much usable in there but a broken browser.
This site should be renamed to "The Historical Horror Graveyard of Bad Computing Ideas" - go and show your students how operating systems should not work and how the ill-minded hierarchical-company-business-religion destroys creativity and good ideas and harmed human progress for much too long.
It is good to know that Windows 10 is the last Windows - may that prophecy fullfill itself quickly.

- zaf 11y agoAmen. Thank the heavens for having choices in far superior computing environments. I'm always shocked at what windows users have had to go through in the last 15 years. I was getting warmed up to windows 10 but the recent privacy issues have got me cold again.

- nness 11y agoI find it amazing that Ubuntu 15.04 is still under 700mb, but I suppose you have to install a lot of packages on first run anyway. I do doubt that it's 5gb worth though...
- amlgsmsn 11y agoI think a good of that is because of backward compatibility and drivers.
