Well
I think its very good news that Lenovo will at last bite the bullet and 
have the courage to offer a choice
 ie Linux and the other !! OS.
 Now my immediate thought is,
how can we linux users support this?
ie how can we let Lenovo know I for one, would be the first to buy a new 
Thinkpad IF it had Linux preinstalled.
 my answer is who in Lenovo aught to get the 1000.s of emails ? from us 
users to say
YES PLEASE
 Im out in the sticks but someone might just know to whom we might just 
write to say
THE SOONER THE BETTER.
