Sony's "Fresh Start" Option Charges $150 to Remove Bloatware
What's the first thing I do when I get a computer from a major system building like Dell, HP or Sony? Well, actually, the first thing I do once I get it activated is make a system image. The second thing I do is wipe all the "bloatware" off the system. Bloatware is all the trialware and junk I don't want on the computer.

It's one of the most requested items that people wish they would be able to customize their PCs with ... "no bloatware" that is. Sony has gotten the message, but aims to make a profit off it it. You can request the so-called "Fresh Start" option, though only on the VGN-TZ2000 (http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921665368348) right now, and you have to pay $50 for the "privilege" (click image above to enlarge).

Wait, why I am saying it's $150?
