The problem with so-called "crapware" is the consumption of system resources. The source reports that additional software can significantly reduce the speed of Windows 7 and worse impression of the new OS Microsoft, which was commended for high download speed and low system requirements.

At the resource PCPro was published a little testing of a number of new notebooks, which was targeted specifically to study the effect of additional software. Worse proved Notebooks Acer and Sony, for example, boot time Acer notebook because of the additional "useful" software increased from 43 seconds to 2 minutes, 44 seconds.

Fortunately, not all the tested laptops have proved just as Acer, but many "additional programs on these laptops are really boring to users, and, unfortunately, crapware are sometimes terribly difficult to remove.

Below shows the results of testing nine notebooks:
