Introducing the Dell De-Crapifier..

It’s a sad state of affairs when you buy a new computer these days and it comes pre-loaded with a ton of garbage software that brings your new machine to a crawl. If anyone’s bought a Dell PC in the last few years, you probably know what I’m talking about. Just recently, I was helping a friend set up his brand new Inspiron 1300 and it took FOREVER for it to boot up. It’s a very dissatifiying experience to pull a brand new computer out of the box and be spammed with a bunch of trial software. After removing all of the crap, (wich took a significant amount of time) it booted much faster and performed like it should. I kept thinking it would be nice to have an automated way to remove all this stuff. Thus was born the Dell De-Crapifier script.
reminds me of everyone trashing win98 and how bad it was. when in fact a "clean" copy ran VERY well. most peoples problems with win98 where in fact emachines, dell,..... and others fault.
i'm no saying i have done this but i'm not saying i haven't but some people have been know to place a pirated copy onto an xp machine just to get it to run faster then the stock dell or hp crapware.
