I agree 110% on this point. Hopefully MS gets the point and strips the bloat out of their desktop versions as well... but then again I'm probably dreaming if I think that will ever happen after Vista. Honestly, win2k was the only desktop version of Windows that was pretty free of bloat and I actually enjoyed using. It wasn't intended as a mainstream desktop OS by MS though, it was targeted at corporate workstations (not that it really matters, but that's why most home PCs didn't get 2k unless you went out and got it yourself like I did). They stuck most home users with Windows ME which was the worst of the windows 9x series by far. My ideal windows would be an updated version of 2k--lean and mean and supporting all the latest apps. But I'm not going to pay over a grand for that, thanks, seeing as how OS X does everything I need it to. It's got a bit of bloat, but compare OS X to Vista in the bloat department and there's no contest. And I have OpenBSD for a good server os.
edit: Corrected my statement about win2k a bit.
