- "Crapware ..."
-
I too have spent many hours cleaning garbage off of "new" computers for family, friends and customers who bought assembly line machines.
I am appalled by the market-wide practice the major manufactures have of filling a new system full of CRAP that it barely runs, (one that you've paid hundreds to thousands of dollars for) just so they can collect advertising fees (from Symantec, AOL, etc) ...
I'm seriously considering starting a website/movement called "Can the CRAPware" to educate consumers and lobby the big companies to "eliminate all third-party software that was not specifically requested by the consumer !!
BTW: By 'lobby the big companies' I mean "deluge them with signed petitions and emails from consumers fed up with this deliberately exploitive (potentially fraudulent) sabotage. - Posted by: TheRealPauper Posted on: 04/23/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
