Windows would work exactly the same IF you could install all of the system in the bottom 500 Mb. Windows 95 and later access the drive directly, generally by-passing the BIOS. However unix kernels that I've seen are all under 10 Mb - but any windows install in 500 Mb is going to be tight. <OT subject="windows" level="helpful" sarcasm="0"> You could move the swap file to another partition, and install all applications on that second partition, but windows kinda wants to install all sorts of shit to c:\windows\system and so on. The windows dir on my vmware machine is just about a Gb. </OT> And what kinda performance would you get out of a windows machine with such drive limitations - it'd have to be a 486 or a very early pentium.
