I still remember when I bought my first sony vaio in about 2004, running on Windows XP in Japanese, I was just appalled to find that a whole family of useless crap softwares pre-installed. There was an app that notifies me when the battery was fully charged with a dolce female sound "Batteri no shuuden wa kanrio shimashita". I tried to reinstall the system with the recovery CD, but all these softwares were also installed.
Years later when I visited in Japan again, I wanted to buy another sony vaio, and asked the people to give me one with clean windows system. They did not have one with clean system, but they showed me that there were only a few harmless pre-installed apps, and they were easy to remove.
