I don't think Computrace is that bad.

  It's not bad, but it is a rootkit. Some people don't want that functionality to exist regardless of who is handed the keys.

  It's not bad per se. But it's badly designed (no digital signatures whatsoever in binary or protocol), and it has complete control of your machine. A very dangerous piece of propietary software preinstalled in all corporate laptops that you cannot deactivate, uninstall or even patch. It may not be a rootkit, but surely can be used as one.
