The only one I would be especially concerned about without further investigation, removing is their "driver reset tool". Can you be 100% certain that every bit of DELL hardware does not require special DELL drivers? DELL are not alone in this. Over the years, I've had systems from Toshiba, Compaq, HP and Fujitsu which have complained when I've installed a genuine, unadulterated version of Windows, and have required that special drivers ne installed for things like sound and video.
