Crapware
PC vendors add too much software to the computers they sell. When I bought my laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1501, it came loaded with so much extra software that the boot time was unbearable and overall performance was terrible. It was so bad that I ended up getting a clean copy of Windows and formatting the hard drive. Since then, I have not touched any of the software Dell included with the computer. It bothers me that PC vendors use the term “bundled software,” giving the illusion that it adds some kind of value. It rarely does. It usually just makes the computer annoyingly slow. Another thing that really bothers me is that there is not an option, at least with Dell, to opt out of bundled software. I am not a fan of Apple, but I think it is time for the rest of the PC industry to take a lesson from them and quit bundling so much software with their computers.
