You are correct, I didn’t want to get in to the in’s and out’s of OEM and Vendor Bloatware.
I had it in a Vista Install that shipped with my Lenovo. When I wiped the disc and re-installed Vista using a Full Non-OEM DVD, all the rubbish had gone but I really had some leg work to get all the drivers. It was far from a commonly quoted phrase we see here: “In windows it just works”. Blah…Blah…
openSUSE on the other hand needed no such leg work. Worked literally out of the box!
