Whatever #1.... no explanation why or a better alternative? Lame! If you want Norton Utilities and Ghost also for free ARB Frys has a better deal but involves 2 rebates http://www.frys.com/product/6770095 I have gotten this bundle for several years now and have always gotten the rebates. Norton still gets ripped on from the days when their AV was buggy and bloated but they got the message and have improved much and win most of the AV shootouts. If you don't care about the Utilities and Ghost you can always Ebay them..
I don't think it's any less bloated today, it's just that the bloat grew less than the bloat of everything else grew, and machines are faster today so there's less of a performance hit relative to what it does.
Let's put it in perspective... Used to be, you could install Win2k and Office '97 plus antivirus on a 1GB HDD with room to spare for the pagefile and run it all on 256MB of memory. Today the pagefile alone is > 1GB.
