Dell System Changes

longam · 04-20-09, 10:07 AM

I'm setting up a new workstation that just arrived from Dell - Precision T3400, I went to clean up the Dell Software and.... there is none!

This thing is clean as a fresh copy of windows, except for the applications I ordered. What a nice surprise.

WTG Dell

I'm with AVG, you must have bought a De!! instead of a Dell.

They must have heard the cry of our people and set us free

Yeah, bloatware

Are you sure about that? my laptop came a few months ago, and while the first inspection looked pretty clean, a closer inspection showed most of the extra software was junk (ultra lite version, or 30 day trial, etc).

I buy with the SMB Gold Team membership, so don't know if that makes a diff or not.

I've had my Dell for about a year now, and I'm still finding bloatware. Stuff's worst than a cockroaches infestation; whenever you uninstall something, it seems like three more apps pop out.
