I have no problem with the preloaded OS; but take a different approach. Namely, I uninstall what I don't need or want, install what I do need or want, set (one) restore point, and then Ghost the system. This gives me my own set of reinstall material from which I can restore the system as I need it. I keep the main Ghost handy and run regular backups of my personal/business files. So far, this has proven an effective strategy (though only needed once).
