Just because its there, doesn't mean you have to use it,if a person wants to use something else then good on them. MS have loads of apps in the OS, most home users dont even know they exist, or ever use them. Bit like watching TV - if something is on and you dont want to watch it, change channels. |

| 781805 | 2009-06-15 23:39:00 | And whats worse then MS gear? Third party apps installed by OEM manufacturers. They are not there to give customer choice, they are there to track your movements, assault you with branding and in the worst cases to make money off you while having a negative effect on your PC and the way you use it. Noton bundles is a prime example. No sane person would want it, but there it is on your brand new PC, and in a weeks time it wants your credit card details so you can be hit in the pocket for the privilege of running invasive and crap software. This browser crap isn't about user choice, Its about who will pay the most amount of money to have their crap bundled with new PC's. fools. If it means my PC is a few hundred dollars cheaper, I'm all for it. An uninstall is just a few clicks away. |

Cheaper? why on earth would that happen?, If Dell can make $1 off real player for every PC they bundle it on they sure as hell won't be passing the savings on to you. As for hundreds of dollars cheaper?, Your OS represents about $150 of the cost of your PC, How do you imagine it could be a few hundred dollars cheaper? As for uninstall, pppfffttt, Crap is already so heavily embedded by OEM's that they only way to remove it 100 percent effectively is to format the sucker and install the OS from a unmolested CD. |

Techs see this a LOT - try moving an Icon(s) on some peoples desktop :horrified and they panic, but but but its always been the second one down, what am I going to do now :groan: ( dont laugh it does happen) |
