> $600 Windows laptops are still are a mess of preloaded bullshit put there by the vendor

Honestly this is one of the biggest things I liked about Apple computers since switching to them in 2007. They're so clean and pure compared to Windows which always comes with bloatware. Even the basic drivers you actually need for the computer to work usually come with some sort of bloatware awful UI programs that need to be installed for the hardware to work.

My MacBook Air has a DVD player app preloaded - despite having no DVD slot. It also has a chess game. And iTunes. And I can't remove any of them.
