That's good, getting rather tired of the forced distribution of Windows myself.. it's anti-competitive, and it's at the point where many people don't even comprehend that other operating systems even exist.

Somehow I hope this makes a big stink and goes rank under Lenovo's nose

What solution do you propose for all the manufacturers and retailers around the world? What about people (the majority) who can barely use Windows, and will probably phone the company, and yell at them about the broken PC that won't even boot, and say they won't buy from that manufacturer/retailer again even when the tech guys explain (or at least try to) they need to install an OS. Or better! Those who will say the PC/OS is buggy/broken/virus-infected when they see no icon for Internet Explorer, MSN messenger or Outlook. I know many people, even young people who have grown up in the midst of the 80-90ies "technological boom" and are supposed to KNOW their technology, but are totally overwhelmed with it, can't even use simple software like MS Word, or download and install new software, or have so many misconceptions like the "some disk space will vanish every time you format your drive" one.

Hopefully this will catch the eye of the US Justice Department, which still has Microsoft under federal oversight, and the EU, which has several complaints under investigation against MS right now. I just don't understand how this is allowed to happen.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get ya.
