For only $50, Sony will uninstall some of the trial software it loads onto new Vaio laptops.

Those who actually opt to pay 50$ for the "removal" will miss the fun uninstalling the 80(!) preinstalled applications (at least the FZ21J came with this impressive number of preinstalled bloatware).
Maybe Sony will also offer, for additional 50$, a Recovery-DVD (the FZ21J ships with no media at all).
On the other hand, given the hefty price tag and the less than optimal German keyboard layout (especially for Smalltalk programming), buying a MacBook Pro was out of the question for me.
