floppies thou.

It's not SPAM... just rather silly that's all. Floppy disks went obsolete
some years back.

Obselete but still useful, especially for things like loading storage
drivers in Windows XP Professional x64.

Yes, vista N will fit on ONE floppy, but, the boot loader does not contain
the drivers for the floppy, so, you have to boot from DVD, when you get the
to stage that allows you to insert drivers, insert a USB key, you have to
make this, from the DVD it will have the floppy drivers, the setup will read
the drivers from USB key and allow the floppy to be used for the rest of the
setup.

note, this is a HD floppy, but it does not have the HD hole, so, you have to
make this hole yourself.

I think he was just making a Joke about how many features the EU is going to
Force Microsoft to Remove from Windows Vista.
