    Getting new ASUS UX31E this morning. Have read bloatware guide on this site. It does not tell me what I want to know. Should I open the box and just reinstall Windows 7 from scratch, then add back only the drivers and utilities that I really need. I am afraid that using the uninstall feature to bloatware programs still leaves an untidy hard drive and registry issues. Thoughts?
