The scene is quite common: whenever you buy a new computer and start Windows for the first time there are lot of useless softwares preinstalled by the manufacturer. These programs range from minimally useful applications, such as an Office Starter until antivirus licenses for 60 days or media players that only serve to overload the system startup. And how to remove them?
The most obvious solution is to uninstall the programs one by one, but it gives so much business applications end up there himself. Another option, which I prefer, is to use an unmodified Windows Media and install the system using the original serial label located inside the cabinet of the machine. The hard part is finding a reliable DVD (if the manufacturer has not sent a clean installation media) and make a user without much technical knowledge to format the HD.
Fortunately, Microsoft is offering a service in the United States to install a copy of Windows without bloatwares. The bad part: you need to go to a Microsoft Store and pay $ 99. Also, if you do not say anything, by default technicians install Office Starter Redmond, antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials, the Zune player and the Windows Live Essentials package.
It seems kind of expensive, but at least the user can request the installation of third party applications and earn ninety days of telephone support, an advantage that does not exist in OEM licenses - in this case, all support is performed by the machine manufacturer, which generally do not those things are there. For the novice user should be helpful.
