| It's possible, but depends on the OS. That's how Lindows used to be; you inserted the CD, boot up and play. Nothing to install or setup.

| There are several OSs that can be bootable, and not installed... I have a buddy that uses 1 floppy for his bootable OS...

| I guess Vista on a CD would be very light, stuff like photo gallery and media center would have to be scrapped in order to make it fit on a standard 700mb CD. Also I don't think many people use standard CD's these days because there capacity sucks and Mp3 dominates the music industry nowadays. |

Have you ever tested putting MP3 on a monster 700MB Data CD... MP3 compress very well....you might be surprised... if you call them data instead of music...

| i was refering to the industry, people would rather have there music on MP3 players rather than on disk. But you are correct you can fit a fair few tracks on a 700mb disk.

| The quality plays a big part on how big the files is. When I used Lindows CD Bootable CD, it came with more than the OS though, including office suite, recording software, and a heck of a lot more. I just don't see the advantage. I guess you could a USB drive to boot computers on public places.
