It was damn buggy! :) But I'm sure, you wouldn't play with your production system (for example PC on your job).

I am an experienced Windows user, but when I see all those TONS of useless "system" utils, I just don't know what to do with them. If I uninstall it all, wouldn't that damage the operating system? Best of all, is to reinstall clean OS, once PC is unpacked and placed on the table. (Thanks Gods, I always have some original, genuine, Windows XP install discs)...

It's explained in my blog. And, do you really think Michael Dell is happy he asked that question now that it had been pasted with a negative connotation attached across the blogosphere?

I could go into it, but I won't. It was simply disappointing. However, the most recent experience I had was awesome. We purchased from their line of XPS machines-- and whether it was because of that or not, I really don't know. One of their benefits with the XPS line was specialized phone care. A week or two after they were delivered, they called us to make sure that everything was working alright and to see if we had any questions. I can't complain. Hopefully my next experience will be more along the same lines of that instead of my first experience that was terrible. Customer Service can really make a big difference.

What do you want from dell? What problem did you face? It's a computer. If dell sends you a working machine, then you should be happy. If Dell sent you a bad machine, return it and wash your hands. Poor customer service - What questions did you need answered that led to this? This isn't a hotline its a business. Ask them a business question and I'm sure they can help you. Poor selection - There are countless other stores online. Is this really a reason to HATE a company? Poor value - According to what standards? Not being a fanboy or bashing the first poster but just trying to make conversation on why a person would HATE a company. Maybe its the "H" word that makes me ponder. At the end of the day its a computer and Dell is a company that sells computer. Pretty simple transaction if you know your budget and what you want. And if you don't.....Who's fault is that? With that said, I prefer Dell. No sales man upselling me. No games. No sneaky stuff. Just let me make my machine and send it plus great tracking. I've ordered my dell 12 inch 1.5 years ago and not once have I called Dell ever. Actually once to replace a key on the keyboard and they came within 4 days. Other than that enjoy the computer and move on with my life. :) Maybe I'm just Mr. Content. Regarding the junk on it. 20 mins to uninstall and I kept it moving.
