While I agree with that comment, I don't think that adding some small card games, and a paint program can be considered bloatware.

Maybe not, but neither are they essentials. I have no problem with MS shipping freeware with their OS's as long as they don't become integral parts of the operating system. The reason their desktop OS's are such disc space gobbling monsters is that they've been "feature enhanced" over the years, so that the OS now has features that I personally think shouldn't be part of the OS. I think an OS should be lean and mean (and hopefully therefore more stable), especially on the PPC platform where currently, at least, space is at a premium.
