I too had a CD (standard 700 MB) one which had around 1.4 GB of data on it and co-incidently that was also some Microsoft Product. I verified it by copying it on my machine. :)

well a normal 10mb txt file can be easily compressed to 1mb .
I guess all these language files/folder wld also have been compressed to 1/10 of their size = 5gb

That is called Optimization. You can do this in Magic ISO. There are a certain set of files common between the versions. They are physically present only once, but they are referenced many times. When you make a copy of it, the files are copied physically multiple times.

See all those All-In-One disks on warez sites? Multiple versions of Windows, VS etc. etc. They are made the same way.

I had an mp3 cd whose file system was corrupted. So, each song showed roughly around 1 GB and the whole CD content showed 64 GB. :eek:

IMHO thats Unlikely :)
Coz it is unlikely for different locales to have common files. But anyways
compression works on a similar principle.. I think

An example of lossless vs. lossy compression is the following string:
25.888888888

This string can be compressed as:
25.[9]8
