Windows Vista seems to be a monster when it comes to eating up space of hard disk & leaving huge burden on RAM. Realizing this & paying heed to feedbacks from customers, Microsoft has now given a glimpse of how big its next OS could be. Eric Traut, distinguished engineer & director of development (Windows Kernel & Virtualisation team), Microsoft, demonstrated through a video something they call ‘MinWin’. Compared to the core code of the monster Vista which eats up almost 4 GB of disk, MinWin sips only 25 MB, without a graphical interface. Microsoft is working on bringing it down further.
MinWin will form a part of Microsoft’s next operating system, named Windows 7, which would succeed Vista. The product is scheduled to be launched in 2010.
