Personally, I don't mind the default strings :P

For Pulse, they're a bit much (due to space restrictions), but for
everywhere else, I actually prefer the detail. :)

I'm not against the detail as such, but I find the "(TM)", "(R)" blahblah distracting; also the artificial spacing in e.g.
"Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU         T7200  @ 2.00GHz"
is annoying.

Hm, actually I would prefer this being part of the API. As it is, the code in the header will be compiled into at least three programs (AboutHaiku, Pulse, sysinfo), which is a waste of space. And if there were API calls, there could be two: one which just "cleans" the strings, and another which generates short strings for use in Pulse etc.
