I reckon they should create one HUGE Windows DLL, call it Windows.DLL, about 600 megs in size, and leave it at that :-)

Maybe in a couple of years' time.  If another MS OS were released now, and couldn't go on a CD, they'd have to do it on two CDs, as DVD is nearly, but not quite, the standard for the majority of PCs.

Incidentally, quite a few operating systems come on a number of CDs.  They contain plenty of extra software as well generally, but just thought I'd drop that tidbit of info into the conversation :-)
