Lenovo will pre-install Skype
Found on The Inquirer on Sunday, 18 October 2009
According to Skype's chief blogger Peter Parkes, "If you're fortunate enough to get your hands on a Lenovo ThinkPad or ThinkCentre for your home or office, be sure to keep an eye out for Skype."
The announcement means that those hoping for a fresh Windows install, free of clutter or any applications beyond those they choose to install, might want to look elsewhere - however PC makers offering such a package are becoming increasingly thin on the ground.
I really hate those preconfigured systems; they are usuallly stuffed with tons of useless software. Best thing you can do is to wipe the drives and do a fresh install, paritioning it to your needs, with the applications you want. But since PC makers only include crippled system restore disks, this can quite some work, assuming you want to use Windows and not a free OS which can be easily downloaded and installed.
