"I never saw that one coming... "

Well, Windoze Vista needed two DVDs to make the initial backup, and that was from a bare OS, without Monopoly Office or any other bloatware being installed.

Maybe it follows Moore's Law, the bloat doubling every 18 months?

Personally, I think that particular OS is a product of sickos, because no normal, sane person could countenance such an abomination.
