This is a fantastic example of how many resources we waste with modern software. Sure it's not packed full of the kind of eye-candy we're used to, but lots of the basics are there, and it's thousands of times smaller than even OSs used on smart phones.

iOS 8 for example takes up 5 Gigabytes, Windows 10 x64 is 11 Gigabytes.

This is like arguing that a car is a "waste of resources", because look at how much more metal it uses than this little red wagon. Sure, the wagon is missing "eye-candy" like "providing its own motive power" and "carrying passengers", but lots of the basics are there and it has hundreds of times less metal!

And what substance is this OS missing that makes it a little red wagon?
