The whole reason for the existence of bloatware is to offset some of the costs of making the computers...However, in Sony's case, they create most of their bloatware themselves, and make it so you can't easily use a lot of the computer's features without the stuff.
I'm hoping this option will be popular enough that Sony will start to cut down on the bloatware on every computer. Their new computers all have a list of "Vaio this-and-that utility" programs that fill the entire screen in the uninstall list...
