Yet somehow WMP is half the size of Powerdvd 7.Bloatware is the name of the game nowadays, chiefly to make copying/txing as painfull as possible. All suppliers, not just Microsoft.
The MS corporate pack is even bundled so that it requires dual layer dvds for copying.
Look, I'm not saying that Microsoft is the best thing since sliced bread - I don't believe that they are any better, worse, smaller, or more bloated than the viable alternatives. I'm just trying to get people to think, rather than just paraphrasing populist media.
Or, to put it another way: "40 billion flies can't be wrong - eat shit".
