Visa IS bloated

So I and many of my colleagues have complained since the first beta that Vista is bloat ware of the worst kind. But even since it's launch, no one has pointed to how or why it is so bloated. Now, we have some vindication. Not only does Microsoft acknowledged their error to some degree, they are taking a step in the right direction. They are now developing their new version of windows on a kernel (vista-based) called "MinWin", but it won't be available until 2009-2010 timeframe. Don't worry, there is now an app you can run on vista that does much the same thing. It is called vLite
but it is unclear yet it it reduces Vista's thirst for RAM... We certainly can see Linux's strength in this area competing strongly here in the future.
