PERSONAL TECHNOLOGY
Using Even New PCs Is Ruined by a Tangle Of Trial Programs, Ads,,,
By Walter S. Mossber
Taken from the Wall Street Journal, 4/12/07 (excerpts pulled out)
“WHEN YOU BUY a gleaming, new personal computer, the first thing you want to do is to try out its cool new features and make it your own. You want to savor how quickly it starts up and runs, and arrange the desktop icons to suit your tastes and habits.”
1. We want you to make this experience easier for you
“But as I rediscover recently, often what you're forced to do instead is to spend hours as a digital maintenance man wading through annoying and confusing chores.
I have set up many computers over the years, so I wasn't shocked that the out-of-box experience was less than ideal”.
2. We will spend the time and you can just sit back and relax!
“Instead, I'm talking about two main problems. One is the plethora of teaser software and advertisements for products that must be cleared and uninstalled to make way for your own stuff.
The second is the confusing welter of security programs you have to master and update, even on a virgin machine”.
3. We will remove all unnecessary software and install and configure the important security software your computer will need.
“I'm also referring to how slowly a new Windows Vista machine starts and restarts, even if you haven't yet loaded or launched any of your own software.
Most major PC makers feature the security programs and trial software and offers I encountered on my new Sony. They are not part of Vista itself.”
4. We will remove all unnecessary software out of startup so the computer starts up faster.
"The problem is a lack of respect for the consumer. The manufacturers don't act as if the computer belongs to you. They act as if is a billboard for restricted trial versions of software and ads for Web sites and services that they sell to third-party companies to buy these products."
5. We have a great deal of respect for our clients and try to make your computer experience not only painless but pleasant and rewarding.
“Then there was the security-software mess.
I signed up for a 60-day free trial of Symantec software that Sony offered. This required multiple rounds of scary warnings, scans and updates on the first day of using a new machine. Plus, when I tried to use a feature that stopped some unwanted programs from loading, I was forced to launch a second, somewhat redundant, security program from Microsoft.”
6. We give you the best “user friendly” Antivirus and Antispyware programs, configure and make sure they are running properly.
“On top of this, Sony informed me it had 21 different software updates available for my brand new laptop.”
7. We install all updates and Microsoft Security Updates.
“Still, I wish computer makers would stop loading all these trial programs and offers on computers and that security precautions could be much less disruptive and more automatic. The first day of owning an expensive new gadget should be a pleasure, not a hassle.”
8. We totally agree, and when we put your new computer into your hands, rest assured you will be pleased behind disbelief! We also provide step by step easy learning Manuals with pictures for all the software we install.
