A classic post of mine from the archives:::>>>>>>
Bill Gates:
Many of you might think that my passion was making software and operating
systems. However this is not true.
My true secret goal was to make the industry create super computers with
very low cost.
My strategy was to dominate the market so I can have total control over it
and then keep artificially bloating our products so you would need more and
more powerful computers to run them.
The software could be made 20 to 100 times smaller than we make them... but
had we done that, we would still have the technology of 486 machines.
By my artificial bloating strategy we are able now to have super powerful
computers and low prices.
This was my secret goal. And even Linux and apple owes their advancements to
ME! If it was not for MY goal, and bloat strategy they would not have the
computing power to make their own
operating systems.
For example Macs now use Intel processors that because of my bloat strategy
kept evolving at a tremendous pace.
Had I been like all the others who kept telling me to keep my applications
lean, all the market would be far behind.
And here is a secret I will reveal to you today. The bloat is bogus code
that does nothing at all!
Some times our programmers have problems finding all that data to fill in
the
bloat, so I had an idea to put some digital music from Mozart inside
windows.. running inside the OS in an infinite loop!
For vista the needs for bloat was more.. so I gracefully gave my personal
video collection of my camcorder videos of my dog Skippy. I lost that dog,
and I wanted him to live forever in vista.
YES the REAL code that actually does the work is only 10% of the whole OS or
program. The rest is redundant code that does absolutely nothing but take up
space and eat CPU cycles.
We went from win95 that needed 50 mb to install to 150mb for win98 to 600mb
for windows Me, to 1.5 GB for XP, and now with vista you need 10 GB to
install it. Vienna (or windows 7) our next OS will need 150 GB of space to
install and 10 cpu cores to work.
Another example of this, is the need for super powerful GPU graphic cards
for vista. While linux can do the same things with one tenth the power with
XGL, we wanted to push the cards too to the limits. Soon we will have
multicore GPU graphic cars that will use enough energy to cook a chicken on
the chips, with 10 GB of ram just to run windows.
If we stripped all the bogus nonsense code out of windows vista, it would
happily run on a Pentium 133 with 32 mb ram!
But we don't want that.. we want to keep pushing the limits.. and this is my
contribution to the evolution of technology.
I am revealing this information now although it may seem controversial
because I want to go down in history as the person who pushed technology to
its limits by every means possible, using artificial bloat was my
revolution!

the above is fictional. All similarities with true facts are coincidental
