Symantec's Genesis to Usher in a New Age of Trust?

eldavojohn writes "Symantec has announced that they will be creating a massive security package called Genesis. Semantec has set their goal to 'Security 2.0' which is proposed to be 'a new age of trust on the Internet.' From the article: 'Symantec plans a one-stop software service tying together anti-virus, anti-spam, firewall and a host of other PC optimization technologies...' This is certainly something the common computer user could buy instead of having to fork over cash for every component. I don't think I'll be purchasing it though."

I can't think of one major software package that has reduced bloat over the years.

OS X, for one.

KDE, during major versions, for two. 3.2 was faster than 3.1, 3.5 is way faster than 3.4, or 3.2

There's a school of software development that involves making your software leaner and meaner as it "ages".

New versions are more bloated. New revisions are LESS bloated.
