    i think the follow up posts to the article cast a lot of doubt on the veracity of the author's issue.

    exactly, I forgot where I read about it so I google it out and found more articles along with Dell response.
    So if you are worried about myway search, here is the solution.
    Or go for an Latitude with no junkware.
