It is much bigger than Spirit or Opportunity. 

By the way, Opportunity is still at it at a little over eight years of
being on Mars:

that's ~3,400% or 3,117 days over warranty.

I got the links from wondering if there was any Linux software used with
Curiosity, but it looks like VxWorks is used. I guess it's up to us to
send our own rover to Mars.
