I think you msised the point,
Suse = distributor, kernel = linux.
MS = distributor,   kernel = NT.
??? = distributor   ,kernel = reactOS.

MS Backoffice is a fair few CD's today (7 IIRC), and if you include the
equivalent to what Suse are choosing to include in terms of office thats
another 2.

A core NT system that can boot to a recovery console is only a fraction
of a CD.

Likewise, a pair of floppies can hold a linux kernel and recovery
utilities kitted out with every driver under the sun.
