    I just recieved my new x60s yesterday and I couldn't be more happy with it, except for one thing... all the processes running in the background. I'm unsure what I can remove and what I can uncheck in msconfig. Anyone have an idea of where I can find information about this? My old laptop had ~40 processes running in the background... the thinkpad has 70. :eek:

    A lot of the "Bloatware" is kinda cool and mostly for thinkvantage. The rest you can uninstall from control panel. If my memory serves me right, there was Picasso and disklite manager.
