With modern computers having such low margins, I expect a lot more of this very bad behaviour from manufacturers.
Computers and IT is very quickly becoming something with a great lack of trust, so sad.
It is also inconsistent with self-interest; trading one's credibility for short term profit which is rife in the world; may not result in punishment in some next life; but it will certainly result in a loss of credibility in this one !

What can be done about this. If enough people petition, this could possibly have grounds for class action (perhaps this is already in progress). On a separate note, if one has enough data on how 'crapware' slows down new installations of Windows (assuming unsuspecting users), there could be another one. I am just speculating here - EFF could examine these (if they have not already). I know I am talking about Windows - it is the principle and the social implications of behaviour I am looking at (at the moment)... Cheers, DB _______________________________________________
