Holy Crap, Batman!

One of my biggest beefs with buying computers is all the crap that's stuffed on the hard drive before you ever open the box. I've screamed for years about the effects of this stuff and have turned people off certain brands because of it. Heck, I've even devoted a chapter in the book I'm writing to removing it.

PC Pro has a nice article about crapware on some major label laptops, it's effects, and what you can do about it.

Nice to see someone else give a hoot. (although, I am forced to add that their website is an ad-saturated hell)
