Microsoft Windows is the most popular operating system on the planet earth. This operating system is equipped with the latest computer technologies to make the operating system very pleasant to use. But does it happen ? Windows versions are known to be buggy and bloated. Latest Operating System from Microsoft , Windows Vista , takes up whopping 4GB hard disk space. It demands lots of memory and is slow even on 2 GB ram.
But can you believe that Microsoft has developed a version of Windows which takes a meager 25 MB space on hard disk !! . Sounds incredible. But true. Microsoft has developed a core of windows which is called MinWin and forms the core of all the major releases of future operating system releases including the forthcoming Windows 7.
This baby has no graphical interface and includes a HTTP server. MinWin consists of 100 files only. MinWin may also be a part of Microsoft's overhauling of Windows kernel which is years old and needs an upgrade. Moreover, MinWin may be a part of Microsoft's strategy to modularize the Windows and make it more componentize. Windows technology is good but is plagued by frequent OS failures and library mismatches. This latest technology may improve the operating system which is deployed on the most of the desktops today.
