They just became concerned about this?!! PC manufacturers have been preloading crappy software into their PCs for as long as I can remember. If this was such a problem, why didn't they mention it long ago? Seems to me that Microsoft isn't happy that the PC manufacturers aren't splitting the money that they're making from this. I don't think Vista needs any help showing people what a piece of crap it is. Besides, I don't know about you, but if I were to buy a premanufactured PC, I would do a fresh install of the OS ONLY and get rid of all of that crap that's already in it.......

"A senior Microsoft Corp. executive says the company is concerned that uncertified third-party software loaded onto new computers by manufacturers could hurt the launch of consumer versions of its Windows Vista operating system later this month. The success of Microsoft's first major revision to its operating system in years could rest on whether or not the uncertified applets cause widespread malfunctions in consumer versions of Windows Vista that ship with new PCs starting Jan. 30."
