As a contrary point of view - I have a W541 that is provided by my enterprise overlord including all the virus scanner and corporate crap that comes with it on Windows. I actually quite like Windows, but I prefer to use the right tool for the job - which is often Linux. I boot into Linux (daily) without one issue at all - it all worked out of the box and I have no complaints at all.

The closest thing to an issue is the poor battery life - but this has been my experience with all laptops and Linux.

I can't comment on the W540, and I wonder if it is that different compared to the W541.
