    What does this VAIO software do?

    I have uninstalled Vaio Media Plus, Gallery, and PMB.

    I am looking in the app manager and here are some I am not sure if I can uninstall or not without affecting something bad:

    VAIO Content Monitoring Settings
    VAIO Survey
    VAIO DVD Menu Data
    VAIO Event Service
    Sony Home Network Library
    OOBE

    Could you guys tell me what each is and I can make a decision to uninstall it or not?

    VAIO Event Service is needed fot everything related to the hot keys. Keep this for sure.

    OOBE the is out of box experieces, if you dont want any Sony software like Vaio Media Plus, Gallery, and PMB, you can remove it.
    Not sure about others.
