In the context of my recent post about my Sony Vaio UX390N, it’s interesting that Sony have started to offer an option to not pre-install tons of useless eval software (aka crapware) on your computer.
For a price of course. Whores.
There’s no explanation or excuse other than greed. They’re obviously being paid by the software manufacturers to pre-load their software, so if they stopped doing it they’d suffer a loss. Unless of course they got you to pay the difference.
