Yes, I was talking from an hardware perspective. Most companies where I have been don’t deploy the pre-installed image, since it has a ton of bloatware!
Comment on Microsoft is reportedly auto-installing the HP Smart app on Windows 10 and 11 PCs
reksas@sopuli.xyz 11 months agoIts not very good even for enterprise level, you still have to reinstall whole OS and run debloaters to delete hp spyware. A lot of pointless extra work for something you should be able to just hand out or do basic configurations.
Maybe its good if you consider purely the hardware, but even then it propably has at least some way for hp to gather information no matter what you do to it. I wonder if anyone has thoroughly investigated what kind of stuff corporations put into stuff they sell.

15 year sysadmin and I’ve never worked anywhere or heard of an org that uses the pre-installed OS, and that’s independent of manufacturer and OS.
