FTA, about "MinWin": "A severely stripped down version (almost 20MB) of Windows 7 was able to run a http server"
Last I checked a smallish kernel + uclibc/busybox with most applets (an httpd is in that list) is around 8MB or so. Even glibc only adds 2MB or so more if you throw out the locale stuff. Windows is just a different world.
