No surprises there!
Funny they don't just cut to the chase and flat-out offer to re-install
the OS from a no-bloatware image for $180. =)
The world has accepted the explanation, "The computer is down" when over 90%
of these instances could be avoided if computers were built of quality and
without bloatware. All the Windows XP OEM Preinstallation Kit does is turn
your computer into a billboard. So does the bloatware it makes easy to
install. As long as the general public accepts this, the computer
manufacturers will keep dishing it out. I strongly feel the public allows
itself to be abused more with the whole process involving computers than
with any other product. Over 8 years of experience tells me that you have
less hardware problems (and no overheating problems) and a more stable
Windows with quality hardware and no bloatware.
