No, it doesn't I'm afraid, and the reason why is fairly obvious.  A 
typical Linux distribution comes with hundreds of apps, including a 
full suite of development tools, a smorgasbord of text editors, 
games, and just about anything else you can imagine.  Lots of people 
never need to install any software other than what their Linux distro 
came with.  The apps are what takes up all the space; the Linux 
operating system itself is quite small.  My Linux gateway machine 
uses under 500 megs -- and that much only because I never quite 
finished the job of weeding out unnecessary RPMs.  (Plus I still 
wanted to be able to compile software on it.)

Last I looked, Windoze includes a web browser and a handful of trivial apps.
