Hardware manufactures - stop overstuffing the Start Menu!
March 23, 2006 5:16 PM
The screenshot to the right is from a brand new Lenovo N100 laptop (formally IBM) .
Why do hardware manufactures ship machines with such abuse of the Start Menu?

I hope Windows Vista gets a major overhaul in this area, and not just a way to search this mess. Companies should be disciplined for littering our Start Menus like this.

I agree with you 100%. When I buy a computer I buy it with the bare bones software. Then I format the drive and reload Windows and all that software that I WANT.

Hi,
I agree with you,What you said is right.The respective organization should take care of this.That made the consumers happy.B'coz Customer satisfaction Plays a major role in any kind of business .But there are some advantages in vista. The new Restart Manager provides a means of getting around the problems.User Account Protection takes us much closer to the goal of ‘least privileged user’ operation, and will allow us to perform practical tasks whilst still using accounts which are ‘protected’ against malware and other related problems.And a lot more......
