I just read this on CNet:
"Customers who purchase PCs through Best Buy can take their systems
to the Geek Squad counter and, for a fee, let the technicians go
through every piece of software that comes on a new PC and make
recommendations as to what should stay and what needs to go, Stephens
[Geek Squad Founder] said."
One has to love this - buy your cheap PC loaded with crap at Best Buy
at one counter, then walk across the store to the Geek Squad counter,
and pay more money to get the crap one doesn't want (that subsidizes
the price) removed. That sounds like a flat out rip off to me - for
both the consumer and the company that's paying to have it's software
put on these cheap machines.
