    I used to be a UX series owner and found out that to remove the bloatware from sony you could press ctrl+alt+del when the system is in the final stage of recovery (installing all trial things, etc) and end a process (i forget the name). I imagine this should work for all Vaios and was wondering if it would work for the TZ if anyone has tried it. Thanks.

    Read the long thread for doing a "semi-clean" install. There are complete instructions there that include this step.
