Dell Network Assistant Replaces Microsoft’s Built-in Version

It seems that Dell will be replacing Microsoft’s built-in wireless setup wizard on all of its upcoming notebooks with SingleClick HomeNet Manager - which of course, will be rebranded as Dell Network Assistant. You can even download a trial version over at Dell’s website.

This looks like a step in the right direction given that HomeNet Manager feels much more robust compared to what most of us would have been using so far. I’ve to admit, however, that it’s a bit of a surprise that Dell is switching away from one of its major partners, Microsoft, even if it’s for something as insignificant as this.

After all, we’ve already seen Microsoft being dealt a blow with Google Pack being preinstalled on Dell PCs. Perhaps this is a sign of things to come?
