With all the recent discussions about the junkware literally infecting new computers it looks like Microsoft is stepping up their game to help Windows 7 users be able to install a clean version of the popular operating system.



From SuperSite for Windows:

or several years now PC manufacturers have not been shipping regular Windows installation discs with new computers. What they do instead is either provide a restoral disk, sometimes a restoral partition and at other times the ability to create a set of restoral disks – using your own disks of course.

It is great to have those and you should make that one of the first things you create after setting up a new system however, they are flawed as well.

These restoral options do not reinstall a clean version of Windows rather they put Windows back on the system along with all the junk the system originally had installed on it at the time you purchased it.
