Windows 8 PCs Still Throttled By Crapware

[wraggster]

Windows 8's Metro UI presents a clean and spiffy new interface for Microsoft's latest OS. But one of the operating system's oldest and most hated problems — crapware — still lurks below the surface. For instance, the Acer Aspire 7600U is an all-in-one that, at $1,900, is hardly a bargain-basement PC (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/acer-aspire-7600u). And yet as shipped it includes over 50 pieces of OEM and third-party software pre-installed (http://www.itworld.com/consumerization-it/319281/heres-all-crapware-comes-new-windows-8-pcs), much of which simply offer trials for paid services
