    Hello,

    Bloated to Mrk's chart of bloatedness. As simple as that.
    One tool, one function. The Swiss army knife was invented long time ago.

    I prefer 100 tiny tools that do job well in their narrow area than 1 tools that does 100 job lousily.

    Example - ping. Did you ever hear anyone complain about ping? Now, imagine ping also became a registry editor, oh my oh my.

    Performance = good design, slim design, narrow, efficient functionality.

    Mrk

    Well, it is all a matter of opinion. NIS in the past may not have been very good in terms of what it delivered compared to its 'size' (I am using your measuring scale) but NIS 2008 certainly was a revelation compared to previous versions...and they are heading in the right direction.

    But "Performance = good design, slim design, narrow, efficient functionality." Ha, ha...makes me laugh...where is accuracy in all that? 100 tiny tools that are in accurate are certainly not that good.;)
