Ahh .. yes.. the punchcard stories
I often hassle my boss about punchcards when he brings it up, I make a point of making him feel old
I started off with an Amstrad 64 which my dad bought for the family in 1986
I would've been 7 at the time. Then I took over the family's PC decisions and purchases from 486 DX 33 onwards

Yeah, you're not wrong, bloated is the right word. I really do believe that MS product in particular, but also others like Adobe, are bloated for little reason other than hardware storage being cheaper than programming hours. It seems like such a waste, but it's the economy of it all.
