Microsoft now have branding around "hardware that ships with vanilla Windows" to try and mitigate the problem; likewise you can download a USB key image and use it to reset to a blank Windows install.

This sort of crapware feeds off the folks who aren't aware of the options, or comfortable performing them.

Microsoft's branding was called "Signature Edition" and seems to have been quietly killed with the shutdown of retail Microsoft Stores.
