Re: it does have )50 million lines of code

This only illustrates my point.

1. It must be true 'cos it was in an up-market rag. Presumably written by some clueless hack with an eye for the sensational, and a qualification in English, media studies, or marketing.

2. If you actually READ the article it's about WinServer 2003, not XP.

BTW - please define what a line of code is in this context. Does it include comments, scripts, squiggly brackets, data definitions, picture definitions, help, etc. etc.. Real chaps talk about instructions.

AND, given the broad support for platforms, peripherals, and interfaces, how much of the code is actually relevent at any one time.

Tell you, a fully featured Linux distro makes XP look small. XP is even more scaleable. I have it running on a P133 laptop with 48MB memory & 2GB HD - including office. Not exactly fast, but it does run. Try and do this with KDE or Gnome.
