Re: should I format my new Vaio TZ ?

If the program is dedicated for Vista it will only run on Vista.
You must contact sony for that info.

I have just bought a Sony Vaio TZ series and I am considering removing
the pre-installed Vista and other huge slowing progs such as Office
2007 Norton Security Suite etc.
The machine seems a bit slow.
I would install WinXP and lighter version of office/ AVG antivirus
etc
If I do that then of course I will lose some of the Sony applications
such as the power management software which does seem to do the job.
Is this to be recommended ? Will I Lose some good software which I
may regret ?
Seems to me that Sony install loads of bloatware stuff which I really
don't want.
