Compared to the last mess I bet it is. But compared to anything else
(OS X, linux, BSD, Win3.11, or even loading a huge file 14 files from
the beginning of a tape on a C-64) I'd bet it's nothing to brag about.
And it's still probably not hollow enough: DRM, UAC, spyware, 14G of
libraries and drivers that aren't even used by the average person, etc.

You should emulate your heros. But don't carry it too far. Especially
if they are dead.
