This comment is just pure nostalgia. And also a lot of apples to oranges. Yes, you need more RAM to load a paragraph of text than an entire OS used to need, but what of it? How's that a meaningful comparison? WinAmp probably ate more RAM than entire OSes 25 years prior to WinAmp. Also, while you might not be playing videos most of the time, those few times when you need it it's there for you just a click away and it's more efficient than ever before. Yes, software is very bloated compared to software 25 years ago, but in spite of the efforts of crappy web-infused "desktop apps" like Atom, software today actually consumes less resources proportionally to the amount of computing resources available while delivering more, and also requires less power. If WinAmp were to play your today's music files and if that were possible (which it isn't, unless you use antiquated audio formats), how much % of CPU would it use and how soon would it drain your laptops battery? My guess is it wouldn't fare very well.
