Preinstalled applications – Preinstalled applications are installed during the initial software unbundling, and are ready to use immediately.

Preloaded applications – Some applications from HP are loaded on the hard drive in an uninstalled state; you must install the application manually before you can use it. Application Installer provides a simple interface to the uninstalled applications. Note that some pre-loaded applications have their own install program. For example, Norton AntiVirus and HP ProtectTools are installed by selecting their shortcut icons from the START->PROGRAM menu.
