    Hi people, I received my 1420 on Monday and haven't done much to get rid of the bloatware that came with. I'd do a clean install of Vista, but I'm not an expert and I'm afraid I'll mess up the needed software already included: Media Direct, Sound Blaster, Webcam, Creative stuff, etc. I might get rid of some stuff and use CCleaner later, which I've never used.

    But for those that did reinstall, how did it go with reinstalling the necessary software?

    Please take the poll. You can do multiple options to tell us more about reinstallation of necessary softwares.

    Thank you for voting.

    I don't need you to respond, but please take this poll. I just want to see how much a difference reinstallation makes.
