"Windows 95 was 30 MB" is such an ignorant, obnoxious, trite take. a triple buffered framebuffer (which you want for smooth scrolling) for my 4K display is 70 MB in *pixels alone*.

QNX too was super compact, there was even a version on one 1.4mb floppy disk, that's not the point. The fact that every app has to ship with all its libraries tells something about the current most widespread platform.
