The amount of bloat everywhere today is simply disgusting; just because my group server has 1 TB of RAM isn't a justification for letting a "hello world" app grow to more than 50 kB, GUI or not.
Yes, productivity is more important than squeezing out the last bit nowadays, but that the poster couldn't get his 40 MB limit satisfied shames the whole software industry. He should get a simple (i.e., half a dozen menus, dialogs, windows) GUI app done in 400 kB (it was possible in the past).
