I found a very interesting read on the Internet today and think that
developers and end users alike could benefit from reading through it.
It's not that long, it's not even formal; but it hits a core point about
software.

Something to think about as software evolves.  Windows 95 installed on
200MB of space, while Vista eats several gigs.  Ubuntu needs about 2
gigs but has far more features than either of those; yet in those 2 gigs
we find programs like OpenOffice.org and Firefox, where we might wonder
why they eat so much space or take a minute to load on today's fast
computers.
