8,600 reasons to not buy an HP Printer

I'll make this short and sweet.  I'm the 'computer guy' in the family and my sisters laptop is running slow.  So here I am doing my best Karen Carpenter impression (with the help of the o so slick Revo Unistaller) and I get to HP - Shop for Supplies.  Sometimes you find stuff such as TeaTime.exe (a process of Spybot) and you're like 'wtf mate' and bust out the Goog.  Well, being the astute nerd that I is I know that there is no reason that some hp related shopping thing needs to be installed.  So I kills it.  After the uninstall (byfar the best reason to use Revo) it tells me there are over 8600 leftover windows registry items.  Are you serious?!?  There is no reason for 1 to be on the machine let alone 8600.  Now there is sloppy programming.  And there is bad programming.  And then there is programming that I can only assume would be done to see how terrible you could make something.  I think this falls into the latter.

Take a step back.  Anyone who's seen an HP printer or any device for that matter has seen how bloated and bumtarded their software is.  Why do I need 17 different applications installed?  Why do they all need to search for updates?  But I've learned to make concessions in life.  But 8600 registry items for something that'll just say "OH SNAP YOUR OUTTA INK.  Go to hp.com and get more."  Jerks.
