Windows isn’t bundled with anything. Vendors provide all that bloatware. If you install from a win7 DVD, you won’t have any bloatware. That’s just one reason I prefer to build my computers (dual boot with win7/ubuntu).

IE isn’t my favorite browser, either. Still, my life wouldn’t change much if I was forced to use it, and my browser is almost always open.

well, iTunes already decided that I needed Quicktime to listen to music, I guess they felt the need to force more things onto their customers… It’s crap, but not surprising. Well, I don’t really need iTunes for anything right now, so off we go, bye bye iTunes.

I never used the Apple Update Software that comes with iTunes so what I do is I uninstall it.

Sounds a lot like the [insert name here] toolbar trick. This does surprise me coming from Apple though. I would have thought they would be above this.

iTunes = bloatware.

I remember cringing everytime I had to load itunes just to put some music on my ipod… I’m glad I switched to the zune.
