De-Crapify Your Dell (Their Words, Not Mine)

Anyone who's bought a computer in the last, oh, decade knows that every new PC comes preloaded with mountains and mountains of what can only generously be described as "crapware." Microsoft Money (demo), ESPN Motion, BigFix, MusicMatch... these are just a few of the names you'll see clogging up your desktop when you first boot up that new PC. It took a half-dozen reboots just to uninstall the gunk off the Gateway I bought a month ago and get the thing into a reasonable condition for actual use.

While Dell is the market leader, it also has a reputation for being the crapware leader (justified or not, I can't say). Now that reputation has earned it custom software to get its computers "de-crapified." Rather than uninstalling that junk manually, the genius at yorkspace.com coded this little utility to automatically remove all that unwanted software. Be advised there is no manual, no support, and no guarantee it will work, but if you run it on a brand new machine you really have nothing to lose. The worst that could happen is that you'll have to restore the system from the backup CDs or partition on the hard drive. The best? You'll be living the crapware-free life in record time.

Now how about a version for HP, Gateway, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Fujitsu? Or better yet, one that works for every PC on the market?
