An application installed at the option of the end user is not subject to the same rigorous requirements that an, oftentimes, compulsory operating system is subject to.
Especially when the operating system costs money, and lots of it.
- sliverstorm 13y agoI still don't see how Firefox bloating proves your point about Windows.
- becauseBloat 13y agoMaybe it has something to do with the background service Firefox has to bundle with their Windows installer now. You know, because Windows registries and Windows user policies are borderline retarded. But I agree, I'm really not sure why you decided bring Firefox into this discussion either.
