Sorry, but as one who was on Slashdot from pre-userid days, and is in general a huge critic of the company, bullshit.

Microsoft is in a hard place in terms of determining what is or isn't allowed on their systems (due in large part to their own past and quite probably ongoing monopoly abuses), but fixing obvious flaws is to be applauded.

I don't champion the company often, but they're doing the right thing here. Actually, sanctioning Lenovo for letting this happen might be another option they've got. Though something tells me they won't play that card (and quite possibly cannot).
