No more junk

340 points posted to Software, Desktops and Laptops by gunner 02/22/07

Dear Dell,

I finally get my wish, sort of. I’ve been ordering PC’s and Notebooks from you for people interested in your products and have always asked the rep – because I order over the phone- to give me a clean system. No AOL, no 60-day Office, no trial antivirus (specially McAfee security) because it’s a pain is the rear to remove, and have always been told that it’s not happening. This is a nightmare because I have to uninstall all these programs and spend two to three hours sanitizing the computer before I can install the programs I want in order to use the system.

Here’s what I DON’T want loaded: AOL, McAfee, Norton firewall, Office trial, Earthlink, ISP software, Yahoo.

Here’s what I DO want: Windows and latest drivers and bios.
