While we're at it... maybe provide Linux (Ubuntu?) as the default operating system? If we're feeling really lucky we might do with asking them for the original Thinkpad keyboards back.
It’s about as easy to dual boot as it is to just run a popular distro. Wifi cards etc can still be a problem, regardless.
I’d rather not have anything to do with Windows, and would appreciate the gesture of a discount for the Windows license (and the money not going to MS).
I second not wanting any money going to microsoft. I'll take it a step further and say I don't want any microsoft code, branding, stickers, or keys at all no matter how "free" they are.
just kick $10 off my price tag and I'll be happy. If you just sell me an empty shell (no disk or ram) which I'll be over charged for I'll be even happier.
The 25th Anniversary laptop got close but because it's T470 based so there's only a single, crippled Thunderbolt in there and it's slightly heavier.
