Lenovo is shipping new ThinkPads preinstalled with huge amount of software you do not really need.
This slows the boot process to the levels new computer should not be.
Here is the list of software I removed from T61:
- All MS Office related (trial) – Later I’ll install the products we have license for
- SQL server (yes it is installed) related
- Windows Live toolbar
- Norton Internet Security – Will replace it with Norton Endpoint Protection
Other option is to reinstall the system from scratch.
Excellent tutorial on how to do it
Tip: Do not connect the system to internet until you are ready to. It starts right away to download and install windows updates and will slow down the machine.
