I have that Sony Vaio TZ Series in the article above, typing from it now...
Don't see why $50 is such a big deal to make a news item?
PC companies do this all the time with their 'Recovery DVD's', which reinstalls/formats your entire computer back to the original factory settings
I have bought these DVD's for both this Sony Laptop, and my other Sony VAIO PC...
For me spending $50 for something like this is nothing to the $3,000+ it cost for the laptop, $50 is the least of my worries...
I guess im the minority here

Edit: Read the article wrong, guess this is a charge 'before' they ship it out to you...to remove everything they put on...I can see how people would get pretty annoyed by this, but still, certainly not a huge problem to hit news sites everywhere? And its not hard to just simply remove the software when u get the laptop...If someone doesn't know how to do this, then they diserve to be a sucker for $50
