So...

In yet another attempt to teach all you bloatware victims out there exactly "what is what", you may download our Bloatbusters CD Demo right now!

Please note: this CD player is not a pull-out-the-stops program; it only plays CDs, and off the taskbar too, and all you can do is start play and stop it. That's it.

But the point is not functionality per se - it's the SIZE OF THE EXECUTABLE: 3KB! Yep! Now "go figure": if it takes only 3KB for the basic CD engine, how much more can the "bells and whistles" reasonably take?

Get the point? Good. Now download this little lesson in bloatware now.
