Much of the "bloat" you're referring to, Pat, is a result of Microsoft's attempts to make an operating system that the average consumer wants. The average consumer wants 3-D user interfaces, high-definition graphics and icons, windows that shrink and grow...blah blah blah. It's a bunch of eye candy designed to wow the consumer.
It's called making something the customer will buy. Starbucks sells coffee because consumers want it. If consumers suddenly wanted lemonade, bet your bottom dollar Starbucks would trade in the espresso makers for lemon squeezers. The solution? Don't run server apps on Vista. Run them on Windows 2003 Server. ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of patrick zandi Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 1:54 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Linux Rules TOP 500 Supercomputers - Not a single Window$ supercomputer ** you guys are funny.. Ever heard of Bloat code.. M$ Defined the term.. I would love to hear the justification on how I am going to make a system run faster, by creating more code to run it. Everyone knows M$ is so big it could take a bath in itself and not know it. Unix is small, configurable, and runs on small pieces of code. (FAST). M$ runs like a 30K pound hog ! Just use common sense folks.. Solaris run with with less that 50Meg of OS ram. Vista uses only 2Gig..

Linux and UNIX are the undisputed champions in the supercomputer world. There is not a single Windows supercomputer that made it in top 500 supercomputers list The top 500 supercomputers by OS family: http://www.top500.org/stats/28/osfam/ The top 500 supercomputers by OS: http://www.top500.org/stats/28/os/ This definitely must be a big embarrassment for Microsoft, that not a single Window$ box made it to the top 500!
