    Anyone want to make a nice list of removable bloatware from the V1s?

    The G1s shouldn't be any different, all ASUS notebooks are preloaded with the same programs.

    Besides the Asus programs there is only Norton which is bloatware. Nothing else.

    However, some of the Asus utilities could be useless to some people.

    Very true, Only Norton and ASUS LiveUpdate are must uninstalls. Everything else has a use, though it may not mean that for all users.
