That was life when vendors would pre install all sorts of crap. Then you would do a fresh install of windows and lose all of those stuff. (Tears!)

Now this comes by default with windows. I think Microsoft too is feeling the blandness of its product without vendor crapware.



There was a time when Microsoft themselves realized the crapware experience sucked.

Back in the Windows 8 days, Microsoft had a few physical mall shops trying to capture some of the Apple Store magic. One of their selling points was "Signature PCs"-- guaranteed to have nothing on there but Windows and drivers, no vendor bloat.

Strange they don't recognize the spam when it's coming from inside the ~~house~~ multinational.


Some people just can’t tolerate blank canvases. They want everything multi colored.
