Just got in a Dell Latitude D810 Laptop for one of our corporate users. I’ve always liked the Latitude Series of laptops, as they are targeted for business users and are decent looking and pretty powerful, plus Dell doesn’t preinstall a bunch of useless junk software….until now.

Imagine my surprise when I fire up the machine for the fist time and OH KOOL, it’s a Google Terms of Use pop-up for Google desktop search and Toolbar. The first thing I did after clicking thru the ToU was to uninstall Google desktop, cause it’s pretty much junk. I left the toolbar cause it has it’s uses.

Google is starting to get on my nerves….but their maps and search are just too darn spiffy, so I’ll let it slide this time.

Update: SiliconBeat just posted about this (0ld n3ws!) as well…
