    One would think that MS know that one of the main attacking points for Windows-haters is that it's bloated, so they should make sure to not install stuff they don't need.
    Windows Live Essentials was a step in the right direction.

    microtw@ts practically rule the world it wouldn`t be rash to presume they have many secret service agents working for them creating these loops. If they haven`t been allready i would think it was a rather large resource that has been missed.
