And Windows 95 actually takes 40MB Space Minimum, not 15 ;)

You can still install Windows 95 or an older Linux.

This is also one of the problems with linux. Too much shit gets bundled with most distros. A basic linux distro with a GUI like KDE (lets face it, only hardcore computer geeks (no offense) use the CLI) tends to consume over 500 MB space minimum. I would like to see a return to the days when your operating system didn't bog down your system. Anyone else remember these days?

Let us consider the way Microsoft does things for just a minute. When Windows XP came out it was bundled with Paint, NotePad, Write, Builtin CD Burning, DVD-Burning???, Windows Media Player, and MSN Messenger, as well as MSN if memory serves me correctly. Then they had the addons like IIS, MSMQ, etc. As it turns out the bundled stuff could be uninstalled. I think users of an operating system are looking for convenience in an operating system. Even my new ibook g4 came with ichat installed, textedit, worldbook encyclopedia, as well as many other programs that I find I use almost daily. Consider the fact that prebundling software in the production release would give ReactOS an advantage in the computing industry. And if a user doesn't want those program they could either not use them or can uninstall them. Think of the shear scope of the long term goal of reactOS. And with prebundled software applications and installable add ons would make reactos a more powerful, and hopefully more prominant computing environment which may be on your local best buy shelf... But in order for that to happen people have to start looking at the statistics and trends in computing today, whilst focusing on the minor version releases like the pre-production releases. All I am saying is open your mind and show yourself what computing can be taken to...

I was kicking around the idea of installing a jabber server on my companies server to allow instant messaging on the local area network. Would reactos.com be willing to do something like that or is that too far out of the scope of the project.
I was going to use OpenLDAP for authentication and save all of the conversations in XML files in both senders and recipients home folders. I also was going to write an XSL to display those messages.
I think this would help out both developers and users of reactos. Including future RosMessenger or something like that...
