      This has been aroud for years, nd it is actually a fake.
      I did some Googling on it Years ago and it was proved that it was a fake.

      Just reading this document made me thinking fake the whole time. Quick Google search:

      http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/16/the-dell-keylogger-conspiracy-hoax/

      Privacy advocates would be all over this if it happened to be true. Really though why would Dell need a keylogger on their laptops??

      Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.

      Dell is all we buy where I work. They're good laptops.
      They also regularly gets good reviews in PC Magazine. This month, the Dell Studio 15 got 4.5 out of 5 and also is the Editor's Choice. Plus they usually get among the best ratings for tech support, software/hardware quality, and ease of use. You sure you didn't just get a lemon?

      There's nothing wrong with Dell PCs... The laptops I've had personal experience with --- died. It was a few years ago, so perhaps they've changed over the past few years --- I don't know. In any case, there is no more evidence to show that Dell is any worse than other manufacturers... Some people have had great Compaq PCs, even though I think they're garbage. We all have our own experience with them.

      If you could provide some decent evidence to support that statement I'd be possibly convinced.
      Also if you can see an alternative for Joe Average, I'd be impressed.

      Actually, any prebuilt computer is trash until you reload the os for yourself and get rid of all the junkware that comes preloaded with it. ;)

      The computer is separate from the OS.
      However, I agree that any computer from a company such as Dell or HP will come preloaded with all sorts of rubbish.
