Lenovo To Shun Linux

"We will not have models available for Linux, and we do not have custom 
order, either," said Frank Kardonski, Lenovo's worldwide product manager 
for Lenovo 3000 offerings. "What you see is what you get. And at this 
point, it's Windows."

If true, I'm deeply disappointed. I'm hoping that consumers will vote 
with their $ and feet.
In the long run, I beleive that they will come around but by then, they 
will have dissipated the goodwill
they paid buying the company and other companies will have increased 
their market share.
