Dell system and crapware?

One of my co-admin at Calendar of Updates came across to a new Dell computer and he was amazed on pre-installed junks.  He found a utility that will help users to clean the unwanted applications in Dell computer in few minutes.  See his post here.

I know that many Dell users are seeing unwanted software (others call it as junks, crapware, trialware) but I'm happy to say that my new Dell notebook (duo core) don't have so much junks, crap or trialware by default.  Why? I have no idea.  Maybe because I didn't purchase the Dell computer in America? 

Seriously, the junk applications is not available in a computer purchased at Dell Hong Kong - whether you purchased it via their Home or Small Business section.  I posted screenshot of the Add/Remove Programs of my new Dell notebook (see here).  I have gripes of course with mobile notebooks.. read it there too.
