I knew throwing personal experience out was going to open a can of worms! :) They seem to act like they're separate. Hardware build and installed software is entirely different. I was under the impression they still operated as separate divisions. UK Support was even on separate numbers until fairly recently - now it separates at top level. If Lenovo get a strike, Sony probably should for the rootkit. If you're not comfortable ignore my "probably wrong" suggestions! :) First thing I do with any Win machine is remove the crap and demos or clean install and add drivers. Or occasionally start immediately with !Windows.
