Subject: Re: [ros-dev] New Webserver System
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...
