In a similar move today users banded together to announce that they now
require software companies and OEMs to get their written permission before
being allowed to preinstall software on new computers purchased from OEMs.
When asked about the move the users responded "We can get free
alternatives so we don't need their spyware and copyprotection infested
shit anymore. We now require OEMs to ask us before loading up a system with
this crap or we won't pay."

Don't look at me, you're the one running XP, I've refused to allow anything
that requires online activation into the company.
