Sony shakes down laptop customers at $50 a shot

I’m sorry, it’s actually “just” $49.99 that Sony is charging recent laptop buyers to remove craptop software it preinstalled.

Sony’s justification? It covers the pre-shipping cost of removing the crapware on the configure-to-order versions of its Vaio TZ2000 and Vaio TZ2500 laptops.
