some say windows xp was bloatware, well....windows XP has nothing on win 7, try 10 gigs of storage space required for win 7 compared to less then 3 gigs for win xp...WINDOWS 7 IS BLOATWARE!!!!!
Durr.. Carmel, average hard drive sizes have increased exponentially since Windows XP came out. 10 gigabytes is nothing these days, especially considering many games alone come out that exceed that by a great amount.
