I disagree. What you install is insignificant. What you run is
significant.



And even that isn't always significant. For most programs, if they are
running, but not actively being used, they quickly get paged out and
have no effect on performance or anything else.



Ken,

You are missing all the S*** that gets copied into system32 and
the DLL hell it sometimes can create. Not to mention if you
remove a program and it clobbers a shared DLL.

Windows is a house of cards, but you can cope with it and never
land on what I am speaking of if you follow a the few simple
rules I point out.




Since you keep saying the same thing, I will also repeat myself: I
completely disagree.
