Win2k was much more performant than the 128k MacOS. It was a multi-user operating system and could serve those multiple users at the same time across the network. It also wasn't as slow, not by a long shot. Performance monitoring, system logging, dealing with a much higher resolution and colour depth, networking stack, user configuration... it did a hell of a lot more. Bloat in the browser is really not comparable to the suggestions of bloat in the article - Win2k did so much more than 1984's mac.
