Just thought this was interesting... Just got another laptop (4th vista laptop in 6 months) and I'm tweaking it before I send it out for family to use. Just going about removing all the stuff that Vista comes with that's not needed and ... what's this... EA Link? OK let me un-install this crap... wait a minute what's this... about a dozen demo's of EA games, including The Sims... oh god.. each one packed with adverts and quick links to EA sites and BUY HERE signs etc. EA has really stepped up their advertising! This ones a Compaq laptop but so's the last one I got (which had no EA stuff on it) which was only in June/July so why the sudden spam of adverts?

Obviously a Compaq (HP) deal with EA since Vista wants to push Live services. Quote: Get a head start on your gaming collection with a download from EA Link, a new digital distribution service from Electronic Arts. The HP Pavilion Limited Edition dv9260us Ultimate Entertainment Notebook includes an EA SPORTS Tiger Woods PGA TOUR ® 07 download from EA Link. As an EA Link customer, you can now easily download PC games in a secure and speedy manner – without ever leaving your home. Get all the latest games, updates, free demos and more -EA Link is what PC gamers have been waiting for! Crapware!!!!!

Noooooooooooo, EA Link is the devil. Run and hide techno, burn it, use holy water, get a priest in, shoot it with silver bullets. Hehe sorry i got slightly carried away there. What ever you do don't download anything. Yeah that is interesting that microsoft and ea are combining their efforts, they both have terrible customer service so maybe they will combine the big pile of answered emails as well.
