As an embedded developer who measured code size in KB, I'm still absolutely baffled why desktop software is GB in size.
Why oh why does a basic Windows/MacOS desktop use tens of GB to install and use gigs of RAM? When it's sitting at an empty desktop, what is it really doing that's multiple orders of magnitude bigger than Windows 2000 on 64MB RAM?
