    LittleJay, you peeked my curiosity

    You said you built a computer to be fast. How do know 8.1 is faster over 7?

    Seems that this subject matter really gets folks up in arms on either side of the fence. . .as for me it it is there then I will use it, if it isn't then no big deal.

    Prexactly. A modular OS! I've been saying this ever since win 8 was dumped on us. That way you can have a lightweight, bare bones OS, a fully loaded, high octane OS, or anything between.

People seem to think that an OS is like a car, the less equipment you get, the lower the price will be. I don't think it works like that. An OS aren't even like other software, i.e. CAD suites, games or office type products. If anything, the way they are designed, it would probably cost more to remove pieces than just leave them in and let the user do the work of turning them off or on.

Not really, MS cut DVD video support to save on codec royalties, a lot of stuff is not made "in house" at MS. At the time of Win95, MS had cut off parts of Norton SW just to save on it. Later on they bought it out but did not implement much of it. There are other things like that, Skype for one, it was bought by MS, lock stock and barrel.

    , you peeked my curiosity

    You said you built a computer to be fast. How do know 8.1 is faster over 7? Because I have both W7 & W8.1 installed on separate disks and use them both, but mainly W8 after it came out.

I'm not talking about lower prices. I would like to see a basic OS upon which a user could add whatever extra programs or apps they wished to. Turning features off doesn't remove them from the OS, it just hides them. The bloat is still there.

Great minds work alike, I would too like to see "empty" windows, just a lean system that works, NT series was a pretty good example, business like but with potential. A lots of us are quite capable to decide and find apps and applets on our own, the way they suit us. Most of the time I replaced windows applets with something I like better, most of them were free too.

The idea behind a modular OS is less to save money and more to lighten the resource load on low power devices, such as tablets.

    You guys should look at Linux. There are about 200 different OS built on a common kernel - what a mess.

The parts you are talking about would probably so negligible in size as they wouldn't even register on most disc managements unless you set them to show you the counts in kilobytes.

    To be blunt, so many of you seem to be stuck in Windows 3.1/95 think, when disc space was at a premium and a few extra kbs would make a difference in space and speed. It just doesn't anymore and removing inconsequential stuff isn't going to improve a darn thing anymore. *Biggrin

    LittleJay, you did talk about the price in your posts: "MS should just offer a plain jane, vanilla OS at a lower price and then offer additions like AERO, etc. to those who want to purchase them for a nominal cost."

DOS on two ?

    Why is it that some think they need to bring Linux into discussions on this site. I am sorry but Linux is in all reality a dead OS to those other then Linux Geeks. Windows and OSX users are just not going to make the jump. . .*Huh
