DBAN will take that crap off for you in a heartbeat.

TBH, if I ever bought a new computer, I would definitely do a reformat. Too much bloatware, and uninstalling doesn't help, and still leaves junk lying around the HDD. A fresh OS is so nice.
The windows cd should do that nicely.

I usually just go to the Uninstall a Program page and manually do it. Sometimes I like some of the bundled software... Then I run Tune-Up Utilities and CCleaner a couple times to get all the registry keys and leftover files off.

Yep, I just formatted my laptop, feels so nice.

Also, my parents got my brother a new laptop and I am going to do a fresh install because it is so relieving.
