[edit] Windows

I built a iso using ultraiso that contains all the below versions of windows using the optimize feature i was able to turn around 30Gigs into 3.9Gigs a huge space savings. Then using linux mount -o loop i can mount this iso and have access to those 30Gigs with only using 3.9 :)

I'm looking into other file systems to use cromfs squashfs and others I'll update the list when i get a full idea

Using Cromfs i was able to take a copy of everything below plus a duplicate of each with driver packs intergrated. Totaling 54.71 GB but using cromfs i was able to shrink that to 2.75 GB

Cromfs: Filesystem size: 2.75 GB = 5.03 % of original 54.71 GB
