I'm not going to claim that Apple is an angel here though. They install a bunch of demoware themselves. But at least you can reinstall the OS to get rid of it (provided that you know what you're doing).

You don't even have to reinstall the OS. Just drag the demo programs to the trash and empty. Impossible on Windows.

I remember when my friend won a new Compaq laptop in a contest. It had Vista and so much crapware on it, it took about 5 minutes to boot with the inadequate amount of RAM provided. I offered to wipe it and install XP. It does install without drivers, but all you need is the ethernet driver and then you can go online and grab the rest. I had him set up in a few hours, booting in about a minute.
