Should I uninstall Windows 8 pre-installed apps?

Hi, I recently bought a Windows 8 laptop and they all come with a stack of aps and software....

I soon realized that 90% of them would come to no use on me...

After ridding of a few (which seemed absoutely useless) I realized that some of them would otherwise needed to be paid for if I wanted them again...

I know I wouldn't be ever using them, but you know... if something has a value... you just have that tinge to keep them... :)

Any suggestion if I should keep them? Can most of them be redownloaded? thank you...

Update:

Thx for answers guys... I was also wonder... my point for ridding of them is to keep the performance tip top...

    I'd unpin them from the start screen and forget about them.

    Try the PC Decrapifier. It's been around for years. It will point out all the trialware and let you make the choice of whether to keep it or not.
