   In my experience, it means the EXACT REVERSE of what you seem to think!   
   "Bloatware" is sloppily written software that consumes exponentially more   
   resources than than it has ANY business needing. Consider, for example,   
   the Micro$haft executable that when analyzed was found to consist of over   
   95% toally non-executable code, i.e., code that could =NEVER= be reached   
   under _ANY_ program state --- which explains why its authors had no problem   
   hiding a five-minute flight-simulator video-game inside it as an "Easter   
   Egg"...
