I don't know about that. The Microsoft Live (cloud computing) stuff is crapware to me and even slows my computer & especially my internet browser down. I haven't figured out how to get rid of the Bing crap yet -- It's one thing to choose to goto a search engine, it's another for it takeover, install itself, (aka hijack - guess it's not if you accept the MS Live installation) and Bing Up the browser and slow it down. The Bing is definitely a browser tracker for supposedly assisting in searches (hence the slow down).
Other than the Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, and Microsoft Security Essentials in that list, the rest are crap-ware to me.
As for the Microsoft Live Stuff, I'd have to refer back to the 'Danger (c)' cloud computing server. Microsoft's, AT&T's, and T-Mobile's combined Danger (cloud computing system) may crashed once again wiping out all of your portable data & what you thought was a backup of your crucial or critical data (gone forever - too bad). Effected millions of mobile users (phone, laptop, pda, etcetera). Oh wait, now it's being extended to Desktop users (home & office) for all of their data wipeout needs, I mean storage. Hrmmm.
Dell, HP, Compaq, or basicly anything that does not have real customer service is also crap-ware to me. Over 90% of HP's revenue earnings is from charging for customer service. $45-$120 per hour just to talk to someone about problems with their product is rediculous.
I'd have to stick with SoulSeeker, to get rid of crap-ware. Clean OS Install on a new computer, or build your own computer from scratch.
Renaming Crapware to Essential Crapware, or Crapware 7.0 with streamlined crap to make the crap appear to go faster, doesn't sell to me. Removing all of the Crapware from Vista (windows version 6.0) would give you Windows 7 (windows version 6.1). I guess the 0.1 means: some crap removed from Vista. The XP mode crap (temporary module/add-in) is for getting as many users to convert to Windows 7. I'm not going to upgrade to Vista 7 (aka Windows 7).
