»PC Manufacturers Finally Realize That People Don\'t Want Trial Software

PC manufacturers are starting to realize that they may be losing sales because people don't want pre-installed, third party, trial software. This is one of the main reasons why people build their own computers. It seems that some manufacturers offer the option for consumers to purchase PC's without it. But, these manufacturers could end up pissing off all of the third party software companies and losing cash. I wouldn't be surprised to see the prices of PCs go up if software makers start pulling out of deals with the major manufacturers.

" While adding software, setting default search engines and including toolbars can all put money in PC makers pockets, the practice has also alienated some consumers who say all such "crapware" is clogging their hard drives and bogging down their systems. For the moment, computer makers appear to be trying to walk a fine line, tweaking their approaches slightly but hoping not to have to slay a cash cow. Gateway, for example, offers only one program in each category, while Dell has added an option for some models that allow a user to configure a system with no trial software."
