    hey Guys,

    I have a sony vaio CS laptop, and boy is it full of sony crap and everything else, seems to be slowing it down alot!!! so i want to get rid of the crap.

    Anyone done a clean install? is there a way to remove all the sony bloat? Im happy to reinstall vista, i just want to control all the crap that goes on it, im seeing Sql 2005, and visual C++ libs, McAfee, Office 2007 trials etc.. All of it crap, some of the sony tools like vaio update might be ok, does anyone have a list of the useful tools that sony supply or are they all crap?

    Hope someone can help me.. i only have the vista version that came on the machine, dont have any other versions.

    Thanks
