Amen
Rupert, you couldn't have said it better, or more accurately. One of the "tricks" that is learned with experience is which programs you will have to go back and disable the "auto-update" feature after installing, or remove the "bonus" software that came with it. I can only think of one major package that you left off the list - Quicken. I still shake my head over the number of "special offers" that get installed with it every time.
Perhaps it would be good to add a new section to software reviews - "Amount of Unwanted Garbage Installed".
