Let me give some advice. Don't try to talk to the software guys about
this. They have taken this as a personal insult against their
beautiful work!


As a professional software engineer (MS Computer Science) and over 30
years of real world software development experience, let me make these
two observations:

1. Some actual or potential customers can be a royal pain (in your
view). If you get personally insulted, grow thicker skin. You will need it.

2. Recognize bloatware when you see it. If a feature has no practical
application, leave it out.

just my 2 cents
