    While that’s true enough now, windows has in the past been viable as a “small” or “space efficient” choice. Windows 2000 and even XP could be installed and operate in less than 300megs of room, while being able to also run windows software. A linux distro (or bsd) configured to do the same was about the same size without the same level of compatibility. It really comes down to what you need to do.
