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.
