Title: Too many commercials
Review: Bought a new Compaq Presario that came preloaded with Win ME. My biggest complaint is that they (Compaq and Microsoft) have cluttered the desktop with commercial inducements, some of which cannot be removed! It's like buying a new TV that plays Sony commercials every 5 minutes no matter what content you've chosen. I paid for an intellectual tool and I get someone else's marketing platform. When are companies going to learn that we're all not stupid consumers and that they have to show respect?So I upgrade to Win 2000 and find that the Compaq modem doesn't work and Compaq informs me that it will never work under Win 2000. Since the Win 2000 installation reformatted the hard disk and Compaq didn't include Win ME disks or CD-ROMs, Compaq expects me to pay for new software! Over my dead body!Frankly, "Pride comest before the Fall" - Compaq and Microsoft should be taking that piece of wisdom to heart. Maybe I should look into Linux.
Is the review positive or negative?
