Lenovo is cutting back on sales of desktops and laptop systems with the
Linux operating systems pre-installed. Why?

Because Linux is garbage !!!!

Nay. Every other day someone dumps vista for linux, and let's say ubuntu
installs just fine on these lenovos, without any hunting for drivers, like
would be necessary with xp. Neither does it contain all the updater-trojans
and other call-home-ware and trialware associated with a preloaded windows
install on laps.
