No installer = no crap from Verizon.

I don't have any of the crapware software that Comcast offers on these VAIOs. ;)
No one forces you to use that... stuff.

I do have the Rhapsody Radio on here, but that isn't really from Comcast. Rhapsody Radio is great! :)

Really. I find that having a mac prevents them from installing c-r-a-p software on my computer. I want to install what I need, not what the ISP thinks I need.

Heck, Verizon's installer put Yahoo toolbar and messenger in my laptop. Thanks for uninstall app!

Then again, do mac users currently need antispyware, parental controls (we have them already), antivirus (well, I would like AVG or AVAST for OSX..please oh please).

I'm not neglected...I am special! :p
They don't install it, it's offered for the consumer if they want it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16658949 Mon, 07 Aug 2006 10:24:22 EDT A good thing too.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16658749 cableties : Really.
