The Vista PC Diet Plan

Apple’s new ‘Stuffed’ commercial pokes fun at preinstalled applications – better known as craplets – loaded up on new Windows PCs. Apple isn’t alone in the craplet disdain. Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg wrote columns on April 5 and April 12 about the craplet dilemma. Mossberg identified two 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.”
