This was a clean Windows install, not one that came from an OEM. Clean Window installs at least used to be exactly that: they came with nothing but Windows.
- superchroma 4y agoYes, I read the article. The reality is that buying prebuilt was and still is a working-class family experience. It's all we ever did until I grew up and built my own. Today, many kids are given laptops instead of towers. Those are prebuilt too, and they all ship with windows (and junk) installed.
