I think that some Lenova laptops are available directly from Microsoft as signature editions, that is, with no crapware. I recently bought an HP signature edition laptop and it was great to have nothing but Windows on it.
Wow. microsoft and the pc industry are worse than i thought when it cames to marketing. I'm looking for a windows device and this is the first time i've heard about it!
It is really nice to get a laptop with no crap-ware. Apple laptops have always had a no-crapware advantage, but Microsoft with their signature editions levels the playing field somewhat. BTW, I was going to buy my HP laptop on Amazon but some good person posted a product comment suggesting buying from Microsoft to avid crap-ware - I had never heard of this program before either.
Maybe the link should be changed? http://www.myce.com/news/lenovo-laptops-come-with-preinstall... but even this story doesn't have enough info.
Please, if you have this malware export the cert and post it. This has the potential to be really dangerous.
