Can't it be argued that consumers who buy Dell computers will change their homepage and search settings, either knowingly or unknowingly automatically as a result of newly installed software such as toolbars, etc? The fact that consumers have the right to easily change their settings and personalize their individual Dell computers makes the logic of this deal questionable at best. As hard as it is to believe, not all computers sold by Dell with the Google software packages will have access to the internet. Even though it may be a statistically insignificant amount of computers, doesn't this hurt this deal as well?
