Either that or it might've even beaten the record for the most bloated OS ever.
I agree about Ubuntu, it isn't an easy to use OS, oh sorry it's easy to use but administrating it does take some getting used to - I have a fair way to go on that part.

Mac OS X Tiger is one DVD. Vista will be one DVD.
One DVD ~= 4.7GB.
One CD ~= 700MB.
Four CDs ~= 2.8GB.
2.8GB < 4.7GB =>
Four CDs < One DVD =>
SuSE 10.0 < ('contains less bloat than') Vista,Tiger.
Debian comes in I think 9 CDs, it's not bloated at all.
My only point is that I wouldn't measure OS bloat by the amount of CDs/DVDs you CAN get with it on it (especially when the extra CDs are full of packages for people with slower internet connections, often the case with GNU/Linux distributions).
WMD:
Tiger doesn't even fill the DVD. I doubt Vista will either.

Yes, the OS actually seems quite nice and smooth with Gnome instead of KDE, KDE made it clunky and slow. Debian has 14 CDs last i checked
