Dell Removes Junk from New PCs

Responding to customer requests for less preinstalled software on its machines, Dell will now offer its customers an option to select "no software preinstalled" when purchasing Inspiron notebooks or Dimension desktops. While the option would eliminate much of the software commonly stuffed onto new computers, some would still remain.

Adobe's Reader and a set of Google tools will still be included, as well as antivirus software. In addition, for those who may have not had the option or did not select it at the time of build, Dill will offer those customers an untinstall program to clear off unwanted software.
