In my previous post I bemoaned the amount of value added software crap that Toshiba installed for me on a new Satellite-Pro U400. Straight out of the box and after a good hours worth of installing Vista. the machine was taking 4 minutes to boot from cold to a usable desktop.
My brand new laptop’s clean install comes with a sea of desktop shortcuts, shed loads of taskbar services and plugins that have taken over my browser. AND it’s left me with a PC that takes longer to boot than the hubble telescope.
After finding out by chance that Carbonite and Windows Home Server don’t play well together it’s time to look for another online backup solution. I’d love to hear your suggestions – please leave a comment.
