Successful Software has a post discussing the issues with “upgradeware.” Upgradeware is inferior software that comes as part of a bundle in hopes that you will pay for one or more upgrades.
As an aside, the the author mentions buying a Vista PC from Dell and then reinstalling Vista to get rid of all the upgradeware that Dell installed. Funny, I thought Vista was upgradeware–probably the biggest upgradeware on the planet.
