The biggest manufacturer and seller of PC's in the USA is laying-off 25,000 to 30,000 workers.

Well alright, HP manufactures 100% of their product line in China but these are American jobs lost at a time of high unemployment throughout the Western world.


Also, surprise, surprise, Windows 8 will come bundled with boat-loads of crapware.

Anyone loosing their jobs these days is unwelcome news, things are becoming tighter and tighter for everyone and the last thing any of us need is to loose jobs

Read about that bloatware also, and $99 to remove it is just a joke ... I for one will be making certain anyone hitting our site will know about PC Decrapifier too when WIndows 8 is launched!

It's difficult to see exactly what point the author of that Crapware article was trying to make. He starts off with what appears to be a warning about mega crapware being included with brand name Win8 machines and then goes on to state that they will actually come with LESS bloatware than has been the norm.

The golden rule of journalism: if you've got a mundane topic that you want people to read... sensationalize!!

Here in the States we call that ,"The Gossip Train". It's where you want to talk about something or someone and there isn't anything to say. So you pick out the smallest detail and....."sensationalize" !! Borrowed your word Jim. In the end it all ,, as they say, "comes out in the wash".
