Apple forgets Pages and Keynote

[Thank The Cheese]

and omnigraffle and comic life... (OK, comic life is full version, but it still annoys me. i don't want it, so don't install it without asking)

Mac's aren't much better in this regard, I agree. Though I will say, at least when you re-install OS X it allows you to install without bundled software, which is more than I can say for most PC manufacturers.

funny ad tho

Do all these iApps load on startup? Do they jump out at you and ask you to buy the full version when you're not using them?

There is a big difference with the junk you get on a new PC and the stuff that comes by default on a new Mac. Sure, you get MS Office trial, iWork trial, etc. They just sit on your hard drive and don't do suck up your system resources. Contrast that with all the junk that gets loaded up on a Windows machine (just look at the system tray) and you'll see that it's different on a Mac.
