When choosing the region/language, choose "English (World)". Boom, bloatware be gone.

You can safely change it to your correct region once you've logged in (Note: the Windows Store won't work until you do).

Remember some 'core' apps, such as Paint and Calculator are delivered via the Store now too - so they'll also be missing.
