hrmm.. the ones I have gotten from GW and Dell have all been full versions, yet, as someone point out earlier, they are about 6 months old and require LiveUpdating immediately.

I've purchased about a dozen of each in the past two years and they come preloaded.

Why can't the system builder install an AV product on the system. I'm sure if HP worked a deal with Trend or Norton for their home PC virus product, the value add would be great, at little extra cost to the end user.

When a user goes out and buys a car, other than for tags, they really don't have to go anywhere else or purchase anything else to make it usable or safe. Everything needed to make it usable is included when you take delivery. It's rather hard to explain just WHY they need a personal firewall, virus protection and a set of system utilities if it's "just for home/kid/fun" use.
