Microsoft certainly seems to be trying to combat the OEMs on this front, in so much as they can without angering their third-party partners or bulldozing the PC desktop&#x2F;laptop markets.<p>Those of us with technical inclination need to be sure to point our family and friends with less technical inclinations to the Microsoft Stores and &quot;Signature Edition&quot; [1] PCs, Microsoft&#x27;s latest marketing term for unbloated Windows installs out of the box.
