    Ok..it's a fact about the bloatware on the Sony laptops and the need to do a clean install of Vista or Xp for those interested in a more efficient OS. I think there is a need for those who cannot, for whatever reason, tackle this process ..a service for a fee to do the job. Where would an appropriate place be to offer this service? I don't know if this forum is that place ...so please join in with any suggestions ...thanks.....Allandpm

    My advice would be to SERIOUSLY consider any option other than paying a business to do it for you (other than a friend). Not only will you pay a ridiculous amount of money, you will be opening up a huge can of worms if you ask for XP. A clean install sounds difficult if you're not good with computers, but it is really simple, and made even simpler with all the step by step guides that exist.
