Can Linux beat the bloat

I think the whole "bloated" thing is hogwash.There's no such thing.Neither Windows nor Linux are "bloated". Nor is OS/X. You want functionality you have to pay for it. One man's lean and mean is another man's anemic.Functionality simply isn't free.How many lines of code did USB take? How about multi-threading?...
