Getting a new computer is just like Christmas, no matter what day it happens! The excitement of taking it out of the box, drooling over it as you frantically hook everything up, the anticipation of how great it will work are all great emotions. Then you power it up and the aggravation starts. All the trial and demo software does nothing but get in my way. Perhaps a novice user finds them useful. But I for one would just as soon not see them installed.
The first thing I do is uninstall all of the stuff and then enjoy the new computer. But, if I have to use the recovery disc, there they are again.
Why can’t the manufacturers throw in a CD with the sample programs on it? You could install the ones you want and not worry about the rest. If and when you have to use the recovery disc, it will recover your operating system and not expose you to all of that stuff again.
There, I feel better, thanks for listening.
