Microsoft Selling 'Signature PCs' Sans Crapwar

Post by Sabre »

Article
There's nothing better than the snappy feeling of a freshly installed operating system – one that's free from the cobwebs collected and caused by constant use (and perhaps neglect). Sadly, many computer buyers these days don't get to experience that fresh feeling due to all the crapware that OEMs pre-install on new machines.
I couldn't agree with the bolded part more... SO many people think that they need all that crap that is loaded on a new PC. I always reformat any system I get for myself or a friend. I can't say I'm surprised to see this from M$ either. It's a good move on their part!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
