Blue - about the MS and Apple websites

Just for fun, I took the two webarchives, viewsource/character count, then compared the number of characters (sans spaces) to the present day incarnation of the sites:

Apple 1996: 14944 chars
Apple 2004: 14388

MS 1996: 9937 chars
MS 2004: 36710

It doesn't really mean much in terms of good or bad, I just thought it was interesting. MS's page stayed with mostly text from then till now, just adding more of it and nice menus, whereas apple reduced the text clutter and front page size, and went heavier on the images.
