I just read this about 5 min ago on another site. This would be fun to see how it works out and what's in the cooker for next year

Egads, when did Windows start requiring 20 frigging GB for just the OS? That is insane.

Much of the code is shared across device platforms. There's also the fact that it is running 2 OS's in a way. The win32 subsystem is there for backwards compatibility and takes up quite a lot. Without it you would have a pretty lean and robust OS. The problem is that UWP would have to become the mainstream choice for apps.
