   The problem (and the genius) regarding Microsoft's products is bloat.
   Microsoft's penchant for producing overweight code is not an accident.
   It's the business model for the company. ...
   While [bloatware has] made Bill Gates the world's richest guy, it's
   made life miserable for people who have to use these computers and
   expect them to run without crashing or dying.
