The irony is that you mentioned Windows XP - Windows XP was possibly one of the most bloated OSs Microsoft has ever produced. It was basically Windows 2000 with a "pretty" GUI and IE baked into it (so it couldn't be removed by antitrust laws). XP was released 18 months after 2000 and in that time, it had ballooned:
- Installation size: 650MB to 1.5GB
- RAM Usage: double - minimum 32 -> 64MB, recommended 64 -> 128MB
By the time XP got to SP3, you were looking at an install size of 2.2 - 3.5GB...

Hardly the barebone OS...
 
This reminds me. A friend of mine asked me to install Windows 10 on a 10" Netbook.

I have Windows 10, what I don't have is a flashdrive. Any alternative ways to install it? Or am I forced to go buy one?

Just thought of something else. The other day I bought a 64GB memory card for one of my Pi's (it only has 16GB).

And as luck would have it, this netbook has a card slot. Let me see if I can do it that way.

Otherwise, eish. That would mean I have to waste R80 because nobody uses flashdrives anymore - at least I don't

Yeah so it needed to stay exactly the same as 2001 and NOT support and keep pace with newer hardware, software, security ect. What dumb logic is that...............
