  In the tech world this phenomenon is known as "software bloat" or
"feature bloat."  It's a well
documented problem and requent complaint bout Windows OSs Vista in
particular.  In addition
to being buggy, the extra features tend to bog down your system by
demanding more processing
power and memory.  Computer m-makers: Don't load up operating systems
with features and then
make us sweat to figure out how to get rid of the fat.

  Most features can be set up as options.  Why not start with a
computer loaded with basic stuff
that works 100 percent of the time?  Then, give us the option of
adding the bells and whistles.
There's another soloution available to consumers:  Switch to a
Linux-based OS such as Ubuntu.
Since most Linux OSs are free, there's no business reason to bloat up
the system with feature frills.
