Opps, sorry I now live almost entirely in the world of Windows
these days. I have to leave you Linux boys to your own OS.
Apologies for overlooking you.
Of course there can be bloated Windows freeware (the recent
Mozilla was way too big) but there are nothing like as many
freeware examples as there are of commercial software.
On the contrary, some bloated commercial applications (such as
Adobe's Acrobat Reader or MS Word) can be found significantly
slimmed down in similar freeware applications.
