I agree.  I like to think of the software M$ creates in terms of bloat.
MS-DOS 6.22 is about 5-10% bloat, Win3x is 31% bloat, Win95 is 95% bloat,
and Win98 is 98% bloat.

M$ also realized that because there is so much bloat in NT 5, they decided
to rename it Win2000.  This gives the correct amount of bloat:  2000% more
than anything else they have ever written before.  An achievement never
before reached by man.  In fact, M$ is still adding thousands of extra
lines of useless code every day to reach their goal of 2000% bloat!!!

All this bloat has angered many, many programmers that they started
ReactOS, FreeDOS, and over 200 other OSes.  These OSes have very little
bloat and should be used over M$'s bloated products.

Have a great day :)
