Anyone wants to help me rebuild the microsoft collection?
I used to have a collection of microsoft developed programs, mostly everything they ever created. It fitted around 2TB of data. However.. I gave to a colleague, and he has no idea where he has put them, which is another way of saying for "they're gone". I must've of been enlightened when I gave this guy the data, seeing has he has no idea what to do with it, and is has poor organizational skills.
The collection had 2 problems: idiotic organization, and using full disks instead of delta compressions. So.. the base is 2TB, but with a proper delta compression, I would say, optimistic being, that it could be done within 100GB.
The data will have to be found (again), hashed, compressed, and re-compressed, and then re-hashed to create the final package.
Fortunately, we now have a proper way of organizing this, and it's required because it's a lot of detail: version numbers, languages, names, sources, hardware, licensing types, EULAs and everything else..
