Question by Sean M: Why do companies put their own software on computers they sell when it slows them down so much?
If you install just a clean version of Windows XP Home your computer will start up in like 10 seconds.

But every computer you buy these days (even IBM) is loaded down with crap that makes it take forever to start. My brother has a Sony VIAO and it is un-f’ing-believable. Like it can take upwards of 4-5 minutes to start up or shut down!

Not to mention that NO ONE one planet earth needs any of the garbage they put on. It’s all right there in the freaking Operating System.

So why do they do it? Isn’t bringing the computers you sell to a crawl a bad idea from a business perspective?

If I started my own company I would sell “fast” computers by just no tputting crap on them and pocketing the money I save on hardware. …don’t steal that idea. I’m going to trademark it.
great answers!

so is this why new pc’s don’t include a OS cd anymore?

The answer is price.If all the garbage wasn’t there and you had a clean copy of windows the computer would cost twice as much.Companies pay the computer manufacturers to install their demo products and this is what makes the price go down.You are right ,they are complete garbage and the first thing you do on a new computer is to remove all that
