Windows (even XP) is ubiquotous, and it ships on CDs<=650MB. And Windows95
had a floppy install version (Office 95 too) for people without CD-ROM
drives.

I don't know any other software company that ships their official,
commercial software distribution on CDs>650MB.

At least, none that are in business.
