I just stumbled over two interesting tidbits about source code sizes:

According to this presentation the sources for the Windows operating system contain about 60 million lines of code and the sources for VisualStudio contain about 480 million lines of code.

This question on Quora asks: When will Facebook have more lines of code than the currently-popular version of Windows?
