Software giant Microsoft is offering its consumers Signature services for any system running Windows 7. Users can now bring their machines to a Microsoft Store and get removed any bloatware and optimize the system’s performance by paying just US $99. In addition to cleaning the system and tuning Windows, the amount of US $99 also includes the installation of Windows Live Essentials, ad-supported Microsoft Office Started Edition, Microsoft Zune software, Internet Explorer with Bing optimization, and Microsoft Security Essentials. In addition to this, the user gets 90 days of phone technical support.

Bloatware and ‘nagware’ – “trialware and sample software” as Microsoft more politely names them – are often the cause of user irritation and lower than expected PC performance.
According to Microsoft, this service could give laptops up to a 40% boost in startup speed, 51% in resume times and 23% in return-from-sleep responsiveness.
“Microsoft engineers have spent time carefully tuning your PC to help achieve maximum performance, as well as including software that makes it really fly,” claims the marketing website Microsoft Signature.
