What is 'bloatware'?

Bloatware refers to pre-installed software on new devices that users often don't want or need. It can slow down your computer and take up storage. Microsoft's Project Zenith acknowledges these complaints, offering a 'clutter-free' Windows experience, suggesting a move away from the bloat often found in standard versions.
