- rdsnsca 11y agoIt is one of the selling points. It has been over 5 years since Apple has sold a computer with any third party software on it.
- mahouse 11y agoOut of curiosity, what 3rd-party sw did Apple bundle over 5 years ago?
- drak0n1c 11y agoJava
- dagw 11y agoApple used to bundle demo apps and games with their computers. I for example remember getting a demo of a Tony Hawk skating game and a couple of other apps with an iBook.
- wiredfool 11y agoOddly enough, I have a fresh install of Os9.2 here, from 2001. It's got IE5, Stuffit Expander, Netscape Communicator 4.7.7, and Outlook Express 5.0.2, and Java.
- NelsonMinar 11y agoDepends on whether you consider iTunes crapware :-)
- Watabou 11y agoiTunes isn't crapware on OS X. It is on Windows though, I think mostly because Apple doesn't want to put too many resources into iTunes on Windows. iTunes on OS X runs better than any other music apps (that are not command line music clients like ncmpcpp) I've used, and I've used a lot. On OS X, I can't see why people would call it bloatware/crapware.
