actually, i have landed on joel's site a few weeks back, and liked what he
writes. and in what he wrote in this article - he's mostly right. however,
he's also a bit of an extremist in his writing - read a few more of his
articles and you'll see.
you'll also note he used to work for microsoft for a few years, and i
think that was BEFORE they started moving into their embedded systems
arena - which is exactly where (i think that) bloatware habbits make it
hard for microsofot to adapt.
btw, i don't only see microsoft's products as bloated. the same goes for
KDE, gnome and other graphic applications. why - even some of the
software i wrote is very much bloatware - i'm well aware of bloatware
advantages. on the right hardware, thought, they run properly, and we do
count on hardwre issues and product prices to enable demanding the
customer user fast enough hardwre to run the bloat. ofcourse, if we ever
had to move our bloatware into an embedded product - we're screwed ;)
