I've got a Toshiba here and it runs Vista Business x86 beautifully after
having reinstalled Vista from clean media.

My Toshiba is fine with only cleaning out the pre-installed crap.

Some are, some aren't -- Some of the pre-installed crap doesn't clean
nicely, especially with regards to some of their earlier attempts to
install drivers.

Flattening and starting over takes so much less time then manually
removing what you don't want and then upgrading drivers that I've never
spent much time trying to clean.

Flattening and starting over is only possible when one has an
installation disc that isn't a recovery disc. That's a situation that
is becoming more and more rare.
