Thats two different things; applications installed (which you correctly note
is a distribution thing) and configuration options.

Do you mean the latter as well? The amount of options a control panel has 
for example?  Or the dreaded complition mode for example?

IMO the saturation point has been reached some time ago allready, and adding 
more options is going to be deadly for the user experience.
