Good on Sony in the first place for offering to liberate laptops of their bloatware and second good on ‘em for listening to customers who said charging $50 for the privilege was outrageous.
I first saw this on The Guardian blog and sighed. So near yet so far I thought but hats off to Sony. They listened and responded.
The sooner this is the norm rather than an option, the better people’s PC (and Vista) experiences will become.

the world needs a service to automagically run a script to remove crapware. maybe peer maintained to make it easy to add new malware or vendor specific configurations
there are 3rd party driver and device update sites that go above and beyond Windows Update...
it's a market waiting for a supplier ... Sony have just demonstrated how folks actually feel about this stuff
