I was buying a computer at a major retail outlet a week or so ago, and the salesman asked me if I wanted to pay an extra $20.00 to remove all of the crap the manufacture had been installed by the manufacture. What surprised me was that they actually had this service. But their is hope for those of you that buy a dell, and don't want to pay a computer store $20.00 charge to remove this stuff. There is a utility out called dell decrapifier which is a utility that removes all of they junk without having to go hunt it down. [www.yorkspace.com]
