Heh, there's a mention here to Andy and Bill's Law, "What Andy giveth, Bill taketh away," which is a reference to Andy Grove (Intel) and Bill Gates (Microsoft).
Since I have a long history with Sun Microsystems, upon seeing "Andy and Bill's Law" I immediately thought this was a reference to Andy Bechtolsheim (Sun hardware guy) and Bill Joy (Sun software guy). Sun had its own history of software bloat, with the latest software releases not fitting into contemporary hardware.
