1278248 2012-05-29 22:29:00 Its BS, dont believe it
This is from a company that recently said it was getting out of the PC business

heres the quote
HP’s Jim Mouton stated that they’re no longer in the business of “crapware” stating that the new models will come with “value added software, not malware or crapware.”

what they hey is value added??
Alot of the Crapwareware on laptops is actually HP,Toshibas,lenovos own software, more of that crap than anything else.

Severely hacking the startups is always a good start.
