This is a bit of a logical fallacy.  You say this as if one could remove 
the CD burning utility and suddenly have room for an office suite.  Or 
as another poster commended as if you could remove planner and suddenly 
have room for OO.org.  It just doesn't work that way.  People have tried 
to make room for OO.o by removing tonnes of stuff, and what you're left 
with is a CD that is still oversized and has NO applications on it.  So 
if you abandon OO.o you're left with some space to fill up, and yeah, 
what to fill it with can be a challenge.
