Dell should stop putting their anoying dell wtf software on their computers, takes ages to get them all off properly -_-

Hi Quantum,

The main reason I posted the news article was the mention of reducing bloat ,

Most of my experience with Dell has been with business machines and workstations / servers, and these don't suffer the problems of bloat suffered by their consumer machines.

Hopefully Dell & the other the OEMs will get the message coming from MS that "less is more"

lol, I doubt it

What Windows improves, Dell removes

so true. i'll be receiving a new dell studio 17" in the mail today and you know the first thing i'll do is format > install 7077

maybe backup...for license reasons

i remember when i bought my Dell, there were dell programs everywhere,
to burn cd (never worked)
to backup
some kind of "front row" program that looked like sh**
dell drivers folders
dell startup program
dell control panel
+ all the so called "trial" i don't give a f*** programs hahaha

maaaaan i love windows 7 !

hahaha I'm with you Gary, just received my Inspiron 1545 ...the amount of dellware crap is funny...instead of removing one by one i just installed build 7068 X64 on it.
Upgraded my RAM to 4GB, and wireless card..sweet

OEMs should put all those programs in a sandbox and let the user decided which ones to push on the computer and which ones to remove entirely.

Anyone who buys Dell or Toshiba or HP need to know the site Welcome | The PC Decrapifier This software works well. I bought my son a Studio 15 for Christmas and was shocked at the amount of crap that Dell includes. I wanted to just reformat and load up Win 7, but he was reluctant, so I just removed the crap.

Bloatware is what they make a lot of money off. That is why they will keep on doing it. The fact that now Recovery CD/DVD is provided just makes it ten times worse.

I will never ever buy Dell.

 

[Quantum]

yhea, buy a MAC! hahaha

houhouhou i can hear you comming, i'm running...---->

 

[garysgold]

I will never ever buy Dell.

Had one many years ago that I was quite happy with. Tech support was in those days. Thought I'd try one again.

Probably not again.

 

[echrada]

Exactly Gary there is the little problem of support....there is none.

 

[grimreaper]

this thread is kinda sidetracking, yes?
lol
I had it out with Dell many yrs ago, and vowed to never buy one more product.
Not until I received my Inspiron 15 (1545) and I'm impressed so far.
Their tech support is terrible. period.
At least Dell is saying positive stuff about Windows 7, so now they can sell more products thanks to Microsoft hard work.

Acer Had Ok AcerWare but was mdoerate like only 5 ads in destop and rest wer acer relate game and registrationb stuff.

 

[swarfega]

early adoption of windows 7 by companies such as Dell will help bolster wider public sales. Would be nice if dell bit the bullet and went over to 64-bit.

 

[WindowsSeven]

They dont have 4gig computers..

When I bought my last Dell, I got two CDs for $10. One held the drivers and one had the operating system, XP. For me, it's the only way to go.
