Yes I can which is why I said that.

Anything on Weendoze is bloat. The programming paradigm and model for Weendoze is bloat, bloat bloat and more bloat.

What they call DLLs were intended to be shareable libraries (born of the shareable image library concept in VMS and taken to Weendoze NT by Dave Cutler). However, the Miscreant Idiot Coding Rejects Outputting Specious Often Flawed Technology permitted anyone and their grandmothers to load DLLs. Thus, you install a piece of software on Weendoze and hundreds of shared (DLLs) images are loaded. There's no reason to write them as DLLs if you are not going to share and or publish the API so that others could use them as well.

Sing this to the tune of Row, Row, Row your boat:
Bloat, bloat, bloat your OS,
Force apps not to be lean.
Memory, memory, memory, memory...
its consumption is obscene!
