On another forum I read a post that began:

So I just installed the developers preview of Windows 8
and I am very impressed with it so far.
It took about 10 gigs of HD space to install and was done installing
in about 15 minutes. The install was flawless and simple.

My first thought was "10 GB of HD to install... ?????? "
So I looked up Apple's tech data on it's next OS (tiger -> lion),
and "lion" calls for 2 GB of memory and 7 GB of HD space.
Just think about what 7 or 10 GB of programming represents...
it's incomprehensible ... approaching the complexity of our federal tax laws.
Do programmers EVER delete anything, or are they afraid they have a tiger by the tail,
and they can't let go for fear of being eaten alive.
I think it's ironic that chip manufacturers are stressed out making smaller and faster chips,
and programmers are eating up all that resource with archaic 0's and 1's.
Maybe someone will have the brilliant idea to copy/paste the concept of "sunset laws".
