    Hi, I was wondering if there is, or we can make, a list of programs that we SHOULD NOT delete on our new sony laptops. I want to get rid of bloatware, but want to be sure to not delete important programs. So a blacklist would come in handy :)

    wouldn't it be called a whitelist?

    Step 14 a-f from my document, pretty much covers the things you must have. The rest are "beauty in the eyes of the beholder". You are welcome to extract that as a start point for your list.
