    I just ordered mine yesterday :) and read a lot of complaints about the bloatware that comes preloaded, how bad actually is it? Also I read somewhere there was a thread on how to install XP to dual boot with vista and could not find it any help? Lastly is the backpack nice or should I plan on ordering a different one? Thanks in advance.

    Actually, it's not that bad, we're only emphasizing it so much because, compared to other companies, it's less then a handful, and only 2 requires to be removed, the rest is optional and could be useful.

    The backpack is pretty nice, it's well made by Targus.

    The backback is really nice, i love it.

    I really didn't end up getting too much of the bloatware.

    I mean, Norton OBVIOUSLY, I'm using Avast now instead and its great.
    I hate that you have to go to the Norton website and download a Tool just to uninstall all their norton crap, although the tool worked great.
