What exactly would Microsoft's motivation be to remove a revenue stream from their OEMs? It would be like Google requiring all Android phones to not have carrier supplied software by default. Both would be nice, but this installed software makes the difference in profitability.


Windows users not ditching windows for OSX would be primary motivation. And I was not suggesting Microsoft should not allow them to add bloatware but to allow an easier path for user like me to revert back if I want. Currently, I have to find a install CD and do a fresh install. I am just hoping there be a way where everyone is happy.
