Linux, Where Crapware Goes to Die

,----[ Quote ]
| Sure, there are dumb programs that can be 
| installed in Linux. Generally, they are pretty 
| straightforward to uninstall though. Sure, you 
| could mess up your Linux system if you tried 
| hard enough, but in general programs are 
| fairly easy to sanitize or destroy. Certainly 
| there are complexities at play with things 
| like gconf, but theyâre nothing compared to 
| the Windowsâ system registry.

The Taxes of the Tech World - Linux, Microsoft, and More!

| If your set two machines side by side at Dell, 
| you'll notice in some cases that both 
| machines, although equal in hardware specs and 
| feature, are different in price, with the 
| Linux machine actually being more expensive 
| than the  equivalent Windows machine.  So what 
| gives?   Why does a machine with Windows cost 
| less than  one with Linux on it?  One simple 
| word: Malware.
