[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 871406, member: 57429"] You are in the minority though. Business laptops are a different beast. Consumer laptops have 6 months maximum of driver support. The main problem as I see it is the oem's own pre-installed software because it is riddled with bugs. I can only assume this is done on purpose and the excuse it is a mistake/bug is trotted out every time to give them wiggle room to say that no it's not a backdoor it's a genuine mistake. You seriously telling me the people who code the rubbish pre-installed are that dumb and negligent? Your telling me they don't know about secure coding concepts or buffer overflows or remote code vulnerabilities or local privesc vulnerabilities? [/QUOTE]
