Remote Code Execution on Most Dell Computers
<p><pre><code>  OEM: Let's differentiate our otherwise
       commodity hw product!
  OEM: I know, let's add value with bundled
       software the customer can't uninstall!

Then the bundled software turns out to (inevitably) be useless vulnerable garbage.  Inevitably because a) the customer doesn't need it, b) it's engineered with all the effort that normally goes into adware for captive audiences (i.e., _minimal_), which means it will be vulnerable.<p>Here's an idea:<p><pre><code>  OEM: Let's differentiate our otherwise
       commodity hw product!
  OEM: Let's add NO bundled software.

That would be fantastic.
