| 1297235 | 2012-08-27 04:04:00 | Remember HP & the no more crapware pledge pcworld.co.nz What joke. If anything , its worse.... Its August, plenty of time gone to implement this, & they still load up as much crap as ever. 20++ programs ( I didnt include skype, that might be usefull) Trial/demo versions, crap programs no one would want, 15x HP programs (most is just rubbish) This is on a Business Class Laptop, Win7 Pro. So the IT dept has to go & uninstall alot of this crap Go HP. This is what happens when the marketing Dept have more say than the Engineers a banana for you :banana |

| 1297239 | 2012-08-27 08:24:00 | Format and reinstall, no point wasting time 100% Agree. It will never operate at the level the hardware is capable of after HP have done their filthy business with it. |

| 1297240 | 2012-08-27 08:42:00 | Format and reinstall, no point wasting time As long as they give you the disks. HP has decided that putting a windows image with the crapware preinstalled onto the HDD is a good idea. |

| 1297241 | 2012-08-27 08:47:00 | The business laptops come with windows install DVDs & separate driver & application install DVDs. The preloaded crap is slowly getting better with the latest hardware refresh. It is nowhere near as bad as Toshiba. They now pre-load MS Security Essentials instead of Norton Internet Security, which is a welcome change. |

| 1297243 | 2012-08-27 08:59:00 | Have the drivers with the HP restore partition is a great idea (slipstreamed into the install) but the crapware is a joke! It's just easier to grab a clean copy of 7 and re install. Deleted the install partition and made my own. |

| 1297244 | 2012-08-27 08:59:00 | Not the one I got Thats because you got the crappy version. They have a crappy line, and a not so crappy line (probooks). You have to pay extra to get less of a reaming. |
