MS Will Remove OEM 'Crapware' For $99

walterbyrd writes about a program from Microsoft to clean up bloated base installs, for a price. From the article: "Microsoft even offers up numbers to show how detrimental this OEM-installed crapware is to your system. Microsoft claims that Signature systems start up 39 percent faster, go into sleep mode 23 percent faster, and resume from sleep a whopping 51 percent faster compared to their crapware-ladened counterparts. (A 'Signature' system is one without crapware). But now, Microsoft will offer customers the opportunity to give their Windows 7 PC the Signature treatment by bringing it to a Microsoft Store and paying $99, according to the Wall Street Journal."

Thanks but since I have it down so pat honestly it takes VERY little of my actual time and the nice prices and professional work gets me a LOT of referrals and repeat customers. hell i don't even bother with cards or fliers anymore as I rarely have any free time as it is, I simply don't need more work right now. thanks for the compliment though, I do take pride in my work and when i set up a PC unless they go out of their way to screw it up it STAYS running and clean.
