I love my Thinkpad and couldn't think of using anything else. I value it for the hardware and buy it without pre-installed OS, so this wouldn't affect me anyway. Superfish is however an absolute clusterfuck on behalf of Lenovo, though at least it was caught rather fast unlike the Sony rootkit. One thing I really value in Lenovo is their customer service and as a long-time customer, I'd expect some people to get fired, a heartfelt apology and a compensation for those affected. It's their PR image on the line. Just don't be f*ing Sony.
