5 years ago it was horrible we all just forget the bad things and mostly remember good.
From 2012: https://www.itworld.com/article/2718342/consumerization/here-s-all-the-crapware-that-comes-with-new-windows-8-pcs.html https://www.itworld.com/article/2718342/consumerization/here...
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 9y agoThat's all OEM junk though. If you installed from official media on a PC you built yourself (or at least a wiped disk), you didn't deal with that stuff. With Windows 10, that is unfortunately not true anymore because MS is the provider of a lot of the crapware.
- baldfat 9y agoThat was what I was responding to. A person recommend that the proper way to install Windows on a new Laptop was to wipe the drive and install a fresh Windows. One person said it wasn't needed 5 years ago :)
- yndoendo 9y agoMay be 5 years ago for PCs but still year 0 for Smartphone crap-ware bundling. At least PCs have the ability to remove it with keeping the hardware warranty intact.
