How much smaller is lean from regular windows?


It's supposed to take 2GB less hard disk space.


Not exactly that lean. If Microsoft were serious, they should make
sure that the operating system take no more than 2GB installed. I used
to run Windows 95 on a 500MB hard disk with space left over for games
and applications yet could complete most of the basic tasks I complete
today.


I used to run Newdos/80 on a 5 MB hard drive with plenty of
room left for games and programs!
