What does Best Buy Geek Squad do differently to remove Bloatware?

[kingandydrew]

I was looking at a laptop today at Best Buy and the guy was really trying to sell me on having them optimize and give me a restore disk for $150 extra dollars.

I assumed I'd just add/remove the bloatware I didn't want, but he basically called me dumb if I do that. He went on about how Best Buy goes into the registry of said bloatware and deletes it clean and forever.


Is there really a difference, or is this guy yanking my chain? Am I not just as capable as the next guy to remove said bloatware from a laptop? Or do I really need a Geek to do it for me?

That guy is just tryin to make more money. You can easily go into the add/remove programs and get rid of the junk yourself.
