C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore
I've googled the thing many times ; no simple solution (such as : [x] only preserve 2 copies of each driver)
Several device manufacturers love to create hundred MB large drivers for reason that is not obvious to me (realtek is one of them) and provide many updates (which is not necessary bad) that accumulate there over time...

I love firefox relative independance; I need it.
And so far, I've nothing against their so called "philosophical" way of doing things.

"The modern web platform is incredible complex. Today it's an application runtime comparable to the Java or .net framework."
Who's fault ? Who asked to a web browser able to serve gazzilions of AD data ? (not me) I doubt google will make a great job fighing this mess, nor microsoft.

"My problem with Mozilla's current approach is that they are *preaching* their own technology instead of asking themselves how they can contribute most and deliver "
Well, I don't have an opinion for this one. Preach is never great to me, but that's not the same as "philosophy".
How much microft listen customers is an interesting question as well (my answer: they don't give a sh..); this is not religion, this is (bad) business. I rather prefer good philosophy.

Obviously, we could also detax wood for individual construction for example :) I'm living in a place where most houses get built from concrete, because it's cheap. It takes a hell of energy to produce plus it "gives" mountains of CO2. That's absurd... Yes, this is a place where taxes could be efficient (though they would have to fight very powerful businesses).
