Vista Source code

Any idea how many billion lines of code are in Vista If I remember
correctly, I think it was roughly 45 million in XP, 30 in Linux.

I want to say 50 or 55K.

I dont think it's 55.000 lines of code. Not even the smallest OS would
manage to run that small.

40 million in XP and 50 million in Vista. However, improvements in tools
for writing code in the past five years have significantly decreased the
number of the lines of code needed to accomplish a task so the differences
in the number of lines is deceptive. Vista is more powerful than XP by more
than the 50 : 40 ratio would suggest.

Sure,

cout << h;
cout << e;
cout << l;
cout << l;
cout << o; // 5 lines of code

cout << hello; // 1 line of code

and the compiler optimize the code.

Are these guesses or known numbers.

Here is one.

int main() { while (1) { } } // A 1 line OS
