I see the potential for confusion.

Specifically, whilst Dell does not support or advise on spyware removal programs, do Dell PCs come preloaded with spyware? The page linked to from SlashDot points that that Dell does not install spyware. This makes your position - and Dell's - perfectly reasonable, Peter.

Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
