By allowing profits to come before the safety of consumers, Lenovo violated our trust and made a huge withdrawal from our emotional bank accounts. Indeed, all extraneous software will now be considered suspect. Here is how Lenovo and it’s CTO Peter Hortensius can recover and come out smelling like roses.
Forge and enact a new policy that unequivocally promises consumers, at least business class product consumers, that Lenovo laptops shipped as of a certain date in the near future will be devoid of any extraneous software or bloatware whatsoever, with the exception of the essential and admittedly useful ThinkVantage utilities. Any remedy less than enacting a NO BLOATWARE policy is unacceptable.
