    We've got a bunch of t60p's at my office, and we are starting to set them up for the suers. I want the machines to be as clean as possible, so I was going to uninstall most of the IBM software that comes on it. Since I don't know much about thinkpads, I figured I'd ask you guys, the experts. What IBM software can I get rid of, and what needs to stay?

    The software that comes with it is one of the reasons to get a ThinkPad. Make sure you burn off the recovery discs before starting. ThinkPads have no bloatware save for Google Desktop which can probably go.

    Thanks, We did get rid of the google desktop. I hadn't taken a good look at any of the software yet, I just noticed there was a lot of it on there.
