For those who don’t remember, “Fresh Start” was Sony’s acceptance that its laptops and PCs were so loaded with crapware when the came from the factory that they were almost unusable. Business buyers could opt to get a “Fresh Start” for a mere $50. Blogger whining/outcry encouraged them to rethink this and now it appears every laptop and PC will come as clean as the new driven snow. Thanks, Sony. Bok bok!
