Who Installs the Most Crapware?

Posted by timothy on Thursday October 29, 2009 @06:00AM from the phrase-your-answer-in-klingon dept.

Barence writes "PC Pro has done a thorough test of the software bundled by nine of the leading laptop manufacturers to find out who installs the most crapware on their PCs. Manufacturers such as Acer add as much as two minutes to their boot times by stuffing their machines full of bundled software, with own-brand proprietary software being the worst offender. HP's bundled apps, meanwhile, have a memory footprint of more than 1GB. PC Pro has also reviewed three pieces of software which promise to remove rubbish from your PC — with mixed results."

You can remove *all* your crapware just by installing Snow Leopard and logging in as guest!
Installing Snow Leopard will get crapware on your machine by default.
