Windows OEMs also bundle in TRIAL and LITE versions of half a zillion applications, most of which the consumer never touches. If they do they're enticed to "upgrade" to the full version for more features so the OEM gets a chunk of that cost. It's part of what subsidized those mail in rebates. They hope you buy something else. Heck, throw in a "free printer" so you spend $50 on cartridges every few months. Don't forget the 6 months of AOhelL for FREE!!
Remeber the days of the $400 rebates *if* you signed with an ISP for 3 years? To heck with all the large OEMs. I want (and buy) only the best individual parts for my system so that it is built the way I want and only the software I want is installed. No trials, no rebates, no B.S., and no MS!! That be all, Mr O. --- Bob Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Windows OEMs also bundle in photo editors, music players, and > similar > worth-what-you-paid-for-it applications, so iLife isn't the > big deal > he makes it out to be either. > > -- > Bob Miller K<bob> > [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
