MS is looking after the whole PC ecosystem.

Bloat makes software slower so Intel & AMD sell more CPUs, RAM makers churn out more RAM, hard disk manufacturers make ever bigger hard disks, PC makers build new systems with all the "enhanced" components, retailers sell all these new boxen.

You just have to admire how well the whole economy flourishes, except for the user/consumer.
