I just bought this new laptop from one of the major manufacturers. I wanted Windows 7 Pro, which I got. But I also got lots of "pre-loaded" junk that I will never need or might cause me problems when I don't agree to activate it (and pay good $$$).
This laptop also came with some nifty utilities that I don't want to lose, so I don't think I'm going to do a fresh install off standard Windows 7 images off digitalriver. I'm also concerned about the issues in this thread http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1704565
So my only real opton is to do lots (and lots) of uninstalls, but I know that the standard Windows uninstaller usually leaves lots of crap behind. What are better tools for the job?
