And unfortunately they've killed a lot of the custom install options to reduce the OS footprint which is taken up by printer drivers and language packs. Having used OS X religiously since Tiger, I'm getting annoyed at Apple's increasing disregard for disk space across all devices. The iPhone firmware used to weigh in at around 250mb now it's up to 700. I use a third party tool to remove all of the universal binaries and languages in Lion.
Sound like you have either three choices get a bigger hdd. Uninstall your bloatware If you have any. Just move to linux . I wouldn't say mac cause out of the box with updates it will use 20gb of your hdd plus the recovery partition.
I totally agree that it's BS that Windows XP needs to hog over 20GB worth of OS space when way back in 2000, Windows 2000 worked just as good and didn't need nearly that much space. If you can get away with some apps not being cross platform, even just a little, go with Linux. Because at least then you get total control over your machine. Heck, if you want to run Linux at a 50mb install or a 3GB install, you can. There isn't anything holding you back, except a willingness for change.
Personally, I like Windows 95. I think it is great. Then again, it was the OS (95, 98 and ME) I grew up with and based my whole life around
If it can't be booted off an overwritten cassette tape in 30 seconds IT IS PURE CRAP AND I HATE ANY OF YOU FOR DISAGREEING WITH ME!
Using the KCS format which is 300bps, a start bit, the 8 bit data part and 2 stops bits. 30 seconds would give you a meagre 818 bytes, which for a 1K machine might be fine. Not sure if you could run a nuclear power station with it though.
It wasn't great at the time Probably the vista of back then. This video is kinda truthful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64BXuQUcdqQ
Windows 95 OSR2 was good, Windows 98 SE was also good. (obviously at the time, not now). Original releases of both had numerous issues.
I remember going from Win95B to Win98 SE, the installation left about 30mb free on my MASSIVE 1.18gb HDD. Converting from FAT16 to FAT32 put that back to 250mb which is what I had left before upgrading. Ran 16mb of ram until I had to retire the poor thing due to floppy controller failure.
With my first Win95 PC, my HDD crashed and ended up getting a 6GB replacement with Win95b. I too was amazed by how much space is saved by FAT32. It had 16MB RAM, 8X CD-ROM and a Pentium I clocked in at 160MHz. It was around that time that I started ripping CD's to MP3 files for the first time and man was that painfully slow! OH: For anyone that happens to have classic Windows nostalgia and don't want to load the OS, might I suggest giving this a listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsU3B0W3TMs instead.
Boot between Linux and Windows Vista, and I'm happy with that. I'll be jumping to 7 or even 8 when it gets released. I just haven't been bothered backuping up my C drive data...
You should backup and format your hard drive to install windows 7. The performance improvement is simply stunning compared to it's predecessor. I was losing my faith in Microsoft when using windows vista, then they released windows 7 and i completely changed my mind. I stopped hating on operating systems to understand them instead. They all have strong points and drawbacks!
When this POS Windows 7 laptop finally eats it, I am going to install Linux on the fucker. But until then, then I will be sadly accepting that my Windows 7 has 19 bloody GB in the Windows folder.
