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 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
