Can anyone confirm if the official removal tools for the likes of Norton, McAfee etc are available yet for windows 8?

I'm assuming that they are still shipping with that crap installed? but even if they're not you are going to have situations where users will buy and install them, when they realise that they installed bloat filled crap & the subscription runs out they will need the correct removal tools to completely rid themselves of these programs.

Anyone get a new Win 8 lappy/Desktop & successfully removed the trial crap yet?

This is from the Symantec website:
The Norton Removal Tool uninstalls Norton AntiVirus, Norton Internet Security, Norton 360, and Norton SystemWorks 12.0 from your computer. If you use ACT! or WinFAX, back up those databases before you proceed.

I would assume if your product is listed, the tool would remove it. If I understand correctly, running programs from the desktop environment, is basically the same as it was on previous Windows versions.
 
you are correct. remove it from control panel's programs and features. finish
