Have you ever bought a Dell, and was overwhelmed by all the software they put on there…most if it just trial stuff anyway! I recently bought my daughter a laptop computer from Dell.
I can tell you from the many years dealing with computers and almost always buying a Dell when I need a Windows machine…they are getting worse and worse with this crap. Thank goodness I found this nifty little tool called PC Decrapifier.

Steve gave me this link: Reporting Services Scripter
