Driver updates I can handle. Mobile Me; I cant.
Although, when I installed Office for Mac 2004 on my MacBook, it also installed MSN messenger for mac. I didn't want it and it didn't ask me if I wanted it, it just installed it anyway.
It's not exactly uncommon practice.
So that's how I ended up with Mobile Me on my PC...
I don't really know what it does so I deleted it during a recent clean up with my beloved CCleaner![]()
I think you have to remeber here this isn't a case of installing some extra user mode app, this is a kernel mode invasion.
But i can understand why, its easy to often assume that components exist, and the desire to standardise a build can be quite compelling.
The big problem here is that its kernel mode software, which should always be considered risky, it reduces system stability, and if its written by a frankly shoddy firm with a track record of screwing up other people's OS's security, then mabye it shouldn't be installed by default.

definatly shouldnt just help itself to install, should be an option, personally, and i touch wood when i say this but ive noticed nothing new since itunes 8.0 but i am pretty pissed that apple feel they can put all this rubbish on my computer (as if itunes wasnt bad enough)
This is why my iPods/iPhone are only used with my MBP, and goes nowhere near my Windows machine. Ever.![]()
Its reasons like this as to why I haven't installed iTunes at all on my fresh Vista install, I'm trying to actually keep some bloat off it this time so I might be able to go longer without having to reinstall again!
Also makes me quite happy I don't have an iPod (Shock) so I don't actually need it either.
Me 1, Apple 0
i won an ipod a few weeks ago. i normally use mediamonkey for my music.
but itunes gives me better album/track info and also better cover art. so i image my computer with paragon install itunes. tranfer music to my ipod then restore the image.
