And I am pissed!

Newly purchesed: Sony VAIO - CR220E. Intel Core 2Duo T7250 @2.00GHz.
Running: Windows Vista

I need to know what (if any) of the following programs can be unistalled? or why I would need to keep them.

Instant Mode
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistrutable
MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB927978)
MSXML 4.0 SP2 Parser and SDK
SupportSoft Assisted Service
VAIO Content Folder Setting
VAIO Content Importer / VAIO Content Exporter
VAIO Content Metadata Intelligent Analzing Manager
VAIO Content Metadata Manager Setting
VAIO Content Metadata XML Interface Library
VAIO Event Service
VAIO Launcher
VAIO OOBE
VAIO Original Function Setting
VAIO PC Wireless LAN Wizzard
VAIO Power Management
VAIO Service Utility 3
VAIO Update 3
Wireless Switch Setting Utility

I have fairly basic knowledge (just enough to screw it up & not enough to fix it), but know I can probably clean-up allot of this. I would like to have the system run as stream-line as possible. I am deploying in 2 weeks with the US Navy and really want to utilize as much space on the hard drive as possible. I would also like to find out if there will be a real harm in deleting the back-up information after I put it on disks. I appreciate any help.

Thanks!
