Laptop still has all of the other ridiculous bloatware accumulated over years of IT being told by various partners that they "absolutely must have" this or that doodad for their niche practice, and procurement folks getting worked by flashy legal tech sales presentations -- but at least I don't waste .2s at a time waiting for Outlook to unhang. None of this is security-related, just vestigial bells and whistles. Kicking myself for not doing this earlier.
