This is why you do not buy anything from Dell Home. I don’t understand why anyone would in the first place. You don’t have to own a business or have any special licensing to purchase from the Dell Business side. No extra charge for the OS disk and NONE of the crap that comes with Dell Home PC’s comes pre-installed. It’s not even an option. Nice, clean OS, and that’s it. Of course, you should re-format, re-partition and reinstall the OS anyway, but that’s another thread.

I used the “Dell decrapifier” program on my new (back in Dec. 2006) Dell XPS 410 desktop, and it did remove a lot of crap; but, for some reason, every now & then, I still have my browser hijacked by the Dell/Google crap & end up with their CRAP search results… which are generally two or three advertisements unrelated to my original target site. It even hijacks me when I type a URL directly into the address bar, manually,… but, it doesn’t do it all the time… just sometimes. I have no idea what triggers it… but, I would like to get rid of everything related to Dell & Google on my computer.

The Dell Decrapifier version that I’m using is about 6 months old now, though at the time I first used it, my new computer had only been in operation for a few hours, or days, but not very long. I’m going to try downloading a current version & see if it does anything to further clean-up the Dell/Google Crap on my machine.

I guess I shouldn’t be amazed, but I can’t believe how much garbage is installed on a Dell. I’m glad I’m getting ready to buy a Mac when Leopard comes out, but while supporting friends who own Dells, this is a godsend. Way to go! This is outstanding work.

I’m glad that someone came up with this program. Macs have been throwing this about for years and even started make ads out of all the crap that comes on new PCs. Kudos to you for this tool.

One of the reasons I like Dell is that even the crap they ship with isn’t nearly as bad as those on HPs, Compaq, and Toshiba put on.

I also can’t stand computers shipping with a “Restore CD” and not a true Windows XP or Vista CD. I figure you pay for the license, give me a freakin CD. I guess Dell is doing that Dell System Restore thing, but I think it’s only on those dirt cheap systems.

The first thing I do when I get a new computer or set up someone else’s is a clean install.
