Most people have brand loyalty not matter how irrational it may be...you may drive a Chrysler branded vehicle that is majority owned by Fiat.

Dell,HP/Compaq,Acer/Gateway,Lenovo, all sell entry level PC's...and they all come with a certain amount of "crapware" (or limited use programs) that subsidizes the lowest price!

Well assuming that's true, which I doubt because every HP PC I've seen
comes with the same software load, who's fault is it if you choose to
buy a cheap PC instead of what I buy? If Honda has one cheap car that's
no good, does that warrant saying don't ever buy a Honda? Good grief.
