Don't know if anyone read the article linked off of /. last night 
about "How to make Software Projects fail", but it's quite 
interesting.  Here's a choice quote:

http://www.softwaremarketsolution.com/

        "Moore's law makes much of the whining about bloatware ridiculous.
        In 1993, Microsoft Excel 5.0 took up about $36 worth of hard drive
        space. In 2000, Microsoft Excel 2000 takes up about $1.03 in hard
        drive space. All adjusted for inflation. So stop whining about how
        bloated it is."

(The guy being interviewed used to work at MS, in case that's not 
obvious :)

The article is quite interesting, and he make some really good 
(business) points about software projects.
