If you're old enough, then the first word processing program you ever used was probably on a screen 640x480 pixels or smaller, didn't support internationalization, couldn't provide true WYSIWYG to match output between the screen and a printer, and couldn't render fonts with anti-aliasing. Which of these features would you like to drop to reduce the size?

Everyone loves "tight" programs until they realize what they have to give up to make it work.

Fonts can be handled by Windows itself.

I don't care about internationalization, just EN-US is good enough.

Having more pixels doesn't change asset sizes when the pixels used per asset are the same. Just show me the smaller button or use vector graphics.
