I am a minimislistic person by nature and I remove EVERYTHING I can but as rkuhn said, crapware subsidizes the cost. Sure it takes a little work on my part but I end up payless less, and since I know what I am doing then it is no biggie; the PC novices are the ones that get screwed in the deal.

I would like to point out that major electronic retailers are not permitted to remove crapware without the express written consent of the customer for EACH software title. So most stores that offer PC optimizations for new customers are full of crapware themselves.
