The problem with purchasing a branded PC is the bloat that comes
bundled with it. OEMs don't really think of it as bloatware that
bogs down the machine and ruins the out-of-the-box experience. The
Microsoft Signature program is a brilliant solution to
this problem.
Trials of anti-virus software, browser toolbars, image editing
programs, program docks etc. are a few of the countless
applications which come installed on some manufacturers' machines
these days. Most consumers hate these big-on-nuisance performance
killers and prefer the vanilla experience. Microsoft took a note of
this and upon entering the retail scene, made sure that a Microsoft
Store gave their customers the pure Windows
experience.
Microsoft Signature PCs are sold sans bloat, fully
optimized for performance by Microsoft Store. The
Signature PCs come with Microsoft Security Essentials,
IE9, Zune, Silverlight, Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash and the Windows
Live Essentials suite pre-installed. They also offer phone support,
free for the first 90 days.
