You'll see another post from me on this, where I relate that the startup
program is too late—PM is started sooner.

We found this product to be much too obtrusive for several reasons:

1. Hard to manage (which being interpreted, remove)
2. We manage our own performance collection—don't need it
3. Feels like a sales gimmick

BTW, every update will reinstall it. Yuk!
