I received my new Dell XPS 410 today, and I’ve been busy uninstalling unwanted software and updating Windows. The photo to the left shows why that takes a while… and there were an additional 16 updates after those were complete.

Really, it’s a bit silly that a brand new computer isn’t more up-to-date from the factory.

On the bright side, it looks like I may have received some hardware upgrades for free. More to follow later.
