I'm not impressed by the "user experience" new PC's inflict on you either. There was a range of Vaio notebooks a few years ago when Vista was very new, which needed to get updates off the Vaio site but the site crashed Internet Explorer. It was a catch 22: you really needed the updates but your brand new notebook wouldn't download them.
The problem with pop up assistants is the number of times I have seen really important things (Windows updates) get ignored and yet users happily click on the stupidest things. No wait, that should be "stupid users happily click in things".
