"Unless the Lenovo affair acts as a wake-up call to the industry then it's inevitable that we'll find more of this stuff."
Well, considering almost every PC/Laptop is shipped with Windows, I think we're just used to it. That isn't a swing at Windows (and surely not a prop either), but seriously, who hasn't seen REALLY shady software that is somehow "bundled" with a windows product? No shit, if I buy a personal machine that comes with pre-installed software, I consider it to be fact that it's garbage.
Of course not everyone knows this. Like my mother...no way she knows this. However, she also doesn't get the manual that is titled "The GNU guide to personal software". So, I can see reasons to cover this story, but isn't the lesson here not to buy Lenovo and move on?
The only real question I have is: Did Lenovo or Superfish break any laws, or are they just pushing the envelope?
