Next Stop... Express Software

Express = less bloated software!

What do commercial software companies do when free software is eating their market share? How about getting rid of all the bloated extensions and add-ons most people don't use and reduce the package to the essentials? Congratulation - very good move.

Microsoft, IBM and Oracle have been releasing "Express" editions this year. My guess is that we are going to see more commercial software being released this way. How about Office Express in a 80MB download? Nice idea but unlikely to happened any time soon. I guess OpenOffice is not yet strong enough to force Microsoft to do such a move.
