Well to me it seems like the same problem when you buy something. It comes with a package. And as you install that, you also get a lot of crap that you don't want or need. I had the same with my ISP back in Norway. to get DSL working i had to install their package. It fucked up my pc totally. And somehow my actually paid for registration of Opera disspeared. I sat back with a windows that crashed more often than i drank beer or farted. I had the same problem with my Digi-cam. The installation of the drivers suddenly took 348,75 megabytes of space..
Yea? Eh? I said YES to one thing and ended up with lot of shit i didn't want. After trying XP and plugging in the cam? Eh? Found new harware, installing drivers, etc,,, from my 75 gig disk i didn't even see that it had installed anything on the size of used space. You don't get what you pay for. You get a load of shit more.
I've had enough problems with "needed" software on my windows machines as it is.
I got away with the DSL guy really simple..
i knew what day he was coming so i took down my pc's and set them in my bedroom and set up my good old Commodore 64. I even connected the damned DOT-Matrix printer and the Floppy station to it. So when he cam in and wanted to install the software to let me connect. I of course showed him my C-64. "This is the one ive used. but a friend of mine is borrowing the modem now." He actually wondered where he should insert the cd...:)))
