My personal opinion / preference...  I don't like it when 
computers come with a bunch of pre-installed software that's
unnecessary.  IBM, HP, Compaq... all of these guys send you a
system and then you have the joy of uninstalling everything 
in order to free up your system resources.  It's best when
you can install these applications at your leisure.  Plus, it
becomes difficult to tell what's part of the operating system
and what's "shareware / freeware".
