Walt Mossberg writes in the WSJ:
[...] 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.
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.
Walt is absolutely right about the piles and piles of ads, trials, teasers, startup entries, and other cruft pre-installed on new computers. Anyhow, speaking for myself, I can’t see any reason to use Vista over XP, and only a few to use XP over Linux.
