I was rebuilding a work machine today and had to re-install all the drivers and software necessary for the user.
It was while downloading the mouse driver and the printer driver that I suddenly noticed that both of these seemed to take a long time in installing.
The mouse driver took longer to install than the anti virus program (We install a business/networked version of Kaspersky) and the printer driver was over 400mb, which was also bigger than the install size of the anti virus!
I couldn't believe it!
Is this a crazy pattern that developed from a sloppy practise of programming? Or is it simply the amount of code necessary to drive the hardware nowadays?
Have computers gotten so complicated, that the devices that connect to them are requiring large chunks of programs to keep control and make them accessible?
Talking of which, I need to switch my twitter enabled coffee machine on.
