For some countries, certain applications customarily expected by users will also be included. We will be curious to see what Lenovo actually does remove as based on this conversation, it does look like they will still ship devices with Norton or McAfee anti-virus software that many consider bloatware. Of course, Lenovo shipping its own software could be considered bloatware as many users simply want Windows without anything else installed when their new machines arrive. But, this should kill any future issues like Superfish as it appears Lenovo will be looking much closer at all of the software it pre-loads. For those of you who want to buy a PC and don't want to deal with any bloatware, Microsoft offers its 'Signature' PCs at its stores and online that come without any third party content. Source: Lenovo
