Some Users Say Win7 Wants To Remove iTunes, Google Toolbar

Foofoobar writes "Due to a strike with the UK's postal system, people in Great Britain are getting copies of Windows 7 early and have already posted their experiences about the install process. Some have an easy time but others post installs taking 3 hours including Windows asking them to remove iTunes and Google toolbar prior to installation." The article indicates that many of these early users, though, are having better luck.

    I would still wipe and load for corporate purposes to be sure the machines are 100% the same).

    In a corporation you would build an image first and deploy that image to all machines so they are all the same. Of course, a few images are also sufficient but the point being that imaging ensures they are all the same and it is much faster than doing a wipe of each system first. All user data should be on the servers so there shouldn't be a reason why this wouldn't work.
