What do you guys do when your laptop comes with loads of pre-installed crud?

I think it'll be easier to format, although it came with Vista it didn't come with a single disc...

I've got a Vista 64 disc but the licence will be for the 32 bit edition so it's a little annoying.

I was going to install a duel boot, I really can't be bothered with all the pointless stuff that's installed by default, or is some of it required? (I've never had a laptop before so be nice).

It's a Toshiba Satellite A300 (The new ones)
 
The thing is, it never even came with any drivers at all (it's brand new from one of the high street retailers, good price though).

So I don't know if i'll have to mess around downloading the drivers etc. A bit annoying that I didn't get a driver disc..

I've never had a laptop though so wasn't sure what to expect
 
I'm going to format :)

I'm just abit concerned that I didn't get a drivers disc and i'm not sure what will need installing. I know since it's a laptop it would be fine on generic drivers, the problem is that on the Toshiba site you have to download all the individual drivers as far as I can tell.

Was hoping there was just a big install :D
