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.

This is Windows, what's your point?

If you click on the little button at the bottom of his post that says "Parent" you'll be able to read the post that he's responding to, and I believe you'll find it apparent.

I think you'll find this little slashdot browsing tip useful not just for today, but many enjoyable years into the future.

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.
