Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, mostly in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC. I am currently a Senior Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Hotmail Frontdoor team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for the User Interface of Hotmail as well as some of the Infrastructure and Architecture. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

Ed calls it Junkware. I call it crapware. Either way it's evil and does much harm. I doubt we'll see a solution to this soon. When Vista ships with DVD burning support, there will still be crappy software that the OEMs place on the machine that was not usability tested, looks awefull and probably crashes you machine. Same is true for spyware, and every other form utility possible.
