New PCs come preloaded with lots of “craplets”

I mostly use Linux, but on rare ocassions I do have to use Windows. When I bought a new laptop last year, I was annoyed at how much worthless junk (e.g., limited trial versions of software I don’t want) came preinstalled. Apparently I’m not the only person annoyed by how much hassle it is to get rid of all these “craplets“.
