Well, maybe you Aussies can keep with the bloated version for many years from now, finally EU will get a more slimmed one.... Maybe, who knows?
This question is not a simple one where you can say "Good" or "Bad" or "Up" or "Down (-under)".
Basically I agree with you; When it comes the practical result from the EU decision this is pretty stupid. The question discussed is however very interestening.
Think of this: Many hard core computer phreaks love XPLite. The bundled software is often scheizze: I do not use Media Player, nor do I use the XP firewall or the MS Paint- FTP- or text- utilities. I never used the MS AntiVirus under MS-DOS, I prefer other defragging tools than the ones included with MS OS (from DOS til' now) and the same goes for HDD diagnostic tools. Hey, I even prefer other web browsers...
So, to me it would be much better if the OS came without theese relatively simple toys, but to a lower price. Have a look at how the typical Linux distribution is made. In modules typically. It would be very nice if Windows was distributed in a similar way. Then I would save time, and get piece, knowing that I haven't installed a sh*tload of stuff I don't want to have, and consequently try to get rid of, first or second thing. Surely many would like to have it the modular way?
regards,
