What the heck is "Digital Content Portal"?
I just received a new Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop as a gift and am trying to uninstall all of the preloaded programs that I don't need. I see a program in the Add/Remove Programs list called Digital Content Portal. I tried searching this forum, on Yahoo, Google, etc. but had no luck. Can anybody tell me what this program is for? Do I need it on my machine?

If you think you are part of this group (50 million South Asian consumers), this might apply:

if anyone finds out what the heck it is, please please post....
UPDATE: i just found this site http://billpstudios.blogspot.com/2005/12/christmas-computers.html
which says: DELL's MYWAYSEARCH ASSISTANT along with Dell's DIGITAL CONTENT PORTAL is spyware that come's preloaded on all new dells. Mywaysearch assistant is owned by askjeeves. When asking dell support about mywaysearch assistant and the digital content portal in how it helps us. I'am advised it is like any other search engine yahoo,google etc. And advised to uninstall it as necessary. I question another dell program running called digital line detect.
HERE'S THE FINAL WORD:

but it's crazy how bad things are with this pre-loaded stuff. bad dell, bad dell - what happened? it's like they've made a deal with the devil.
