    Hi Everyone,

    I just got a sony Vaio VPCS13AGX/B. And I just finished doing a clean install of Windows 7. I'm just wondering is there any other software I need to install. What is bloatware and not bloatware?

    VAIO Control Center
    VAIO Event Service
    VAIO Power Management
    VAIO Care
    VAIO Update
    VAIO Gate
    VAIO Location Utility
    Sony Shared Library
    Setting Utility Services
    Battery Check

    Also how do I get ride of the Sony Powermanagement icon that controls the cd/dvd/bd drive power. Its annoying and useless. Thank you.
