Lenovo backpedals on Linux (Linux-Watch)

Lenovo is the company that bought IBM's ThinkPad line. Linux-Watch takes a look at the company's waffling stance on Linux. "Last week, the world's #3 computer vendor, Lenovo, was saying "We will not have models available for Linux, and we do not have custom order, either. What you see is what you get. And at this point, it's Windows." Whoops! Now, Lenovo is going back as fast as it can on its "no Linux here" stance."

It took Lenovo a whole night to get the company lawyers read the new M$ OEM agreements with tux specs on?

Why should you have to do anything? As an American, I don't feel the need to apologize every time some random US company does something stupid. I sure don't have the time...
