OPTIMIZE WINDOWS
Bloat is the curse of operating systems, because they need to appeal to the masses, rather than cater for individuals.

We’re not just talking about shaving away the contents of a couple of megabytes of hard drive space, or cleaning up the Start menu. Windows comes with stacks of software that can reduce your machine’s performance or boot time. It comes with stuff that can see what you’re doing.
