If you've purchased a Windows PC lately, you've probably noticed it's loaded with crapware, free trial and demo versions of various software installed by the OEM, such as anti-malware or video games. Unfortunately, crapware can slow down your PC noticeably. So now, Micro$oft offers a service to turn your PC into what they call a Signature edition, with all of the crapware removed and nearly every piece of Windows Live software ever made installed. The cost? A mere $99!
To quote from the article linked below, "The OEMs make money from installing crapware onto PCs, and now Microsoft
is making money removing it. Makes you realize why more and more people
are buying Apple hardware." More here.

For those interested in the origins of iTunes, take a look at this short Wikipedia article. Enjoy.
