A new system comes with the OS, iLife, Safari, and iTunes. And that's just about it. I think it comes with a trial of iWork and Microsoft Office, but they're not installed when you first boot. You have to actually seek them out to get those on there. It’s too bad everyone can’t be more like Apple… A new system comes with the OS, iLife, Safari, and iTunes. And that’s just about it.

Nearly everyone in the industry is doing it. One way to avoid it is to buy a laptop without OS (do not agree to the EULA and return Windows for refund). Then get Linux or a retail OS version from Microsoft. In the first case - no crap at all, and in the second - only crap from Microsoft to deal with, and most of it can be disabled by editing the registry. In both cases, it is far better than the default craputer configuration. http://cexx.org/craputer.htm Sony are not the only one loading their laptops with crapware.
