    I will be purchasing a new Vaio FW next week, and the first thing I want to do is remove the pre-installed Sony bloatware.

    What's the best way to remove the bloatware? I've searched throughout this forum, and many replies were older, and I was wondering if there's a more current method to easily remove bloatware on the latest Vaio's
