Blake Ross, who my sister may have a crush on (and went to the same school my brother is at right now, oddly) points to an all too brief article on simplicity v. bloatware, and why they think Firefox is winning explicitly because it is simple and lighter. I love reading this in slightly more mainstream computer press- I think GNOME has been pushing in this direction for some time, and (hopefully) it is only a matter of time before OOo sees the light and follows mozilla down the road towards a purging. Or alternately, until we get a good slideshow program to complement Abi and Gnumeric :)
