There's nothing wrong with the idea in principle, it's just that OEMs have a bad habit of putting on too much stuff, and putting on stuff that nobody would want

There's nothing wrong with the idea in principle, it's just that OEMs have a bad habit of putting on too much stuff, and putting on stuff that nobody would want (or should have). It's just all those installers (yes, I'm talking to you Adobe and Oracle) that do everything they can to trick you into installing "toolbars" and other crap.
