From: Ron Hardin on 9 Jul 2010 13:58 I got my first Latitude, which comes with what appears to be a lot of modern bloatware. What's Dell ControlPoint *[another word] manager? Removing it takes a long time, but the boot time is drastically reduced, I notice. It must have its fingers in everything. -- rhhardin(a)mindspring.com On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

It was a fast boot starting after removal. Removal took forever. My only worry is someday removing a camouflaged driver or something. So far, my rule is that if it's new, it goes. That includes everything with the add/remove name starting with Microsoft, except C++, which (whatever it is) has been there a while. Who knows what it does. -- rhhardin(a)mindspring.com On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.
