I’m consistently astonished at the mess people keep their computers in here and am thinking about charging a call-out fee for the frequent cries for help (i.e. installing Firefox and cleaning the general bloat) I get from friends and relatives! It’s close to scandalous the way most new PCs (not all, of course) are supplied dripping with toolbars, trial software and the like, all of it crap.

My other closest Japanese friends are Mac users running Firefox or Safari. :D Theirs is fast.
