... if you are familiar with fmak's posts, he has very fixed views on a lot of things and seldom change them no matter what other people say.I would agree that Microsoft does not necessarily produce code any more bloated than other developers. Though I could possibly suggest I have been less than impressed with some of their code.
Still, I do remember the days where you could comfortably fit a full Unix System V distribution on less than 20MB. And MS-DOS for many years can be installed on a single floppy.
But there's just so much stuff these days ...
