Long story short, bought a new laptop for the wife and as is the trend these days, it came sans installation CDs and loaded to the hilt with garbage from Toshiba. So much so that this brand spankin new machine actually lags doing mundane tasks (reading a PDF, etc.)
It's not top of the line, but it's not crap either. 4GB of ram and a Core i3 @1.80 Ghz ought to run pretty smooth for day-to-day stuff yes?
I'm not a big fan of Windows 8 to start with (whoever wrote Classic Shell should receive a nomination for the Nobel Prize) but seeing as how I'm stuck with it, it would be nice to be able to format the drive and do a clean install of just the OS.
No Norton, No Toshiba Drive Monitor, no Netflix, or iCookbook, or Whatever stupid games, Facebook integration and all that crap.
Just the OS.. Let me install it clean from media. I'll add in what I want later.Can I have that please? How do I get it? Do I mail Bill $10.00 for a CD? Can I download an image from Microsoft? How does this work in the new Cloud-ified Media-less Millennium?
Thanks,
