Though... most of the 'bloat' on Windows XP and Vista was from the dang drivers. If Microsoft would LEAVE THOSE ON THE DISC instead of installing it to the hard drive and make them all available for download via the internet when necessary for the devices in question.... most of the 'bloat' of Windows XP and Vista could be avoided with the next version of Windows.

- Oh, get off it, CD_ Rome...... Microsoft's OS's are very stable and have been since XP, unless a driver is installed that has a problem with it. That you CANNOT blame on Microsoft, period and done with. The one to blame for that: the people who made the driver in question or the company such as Apple in the iTunes 8 fiasco who included it in their driver package.
