Even after that disastrous CEO statement that called the security issues 'theoretical'

I think this is the real outrage here - that the company is run by an asshat who thinks that little of his customers. I refuse to recommend Lenovo or any of their products until this guy either demonstrates unreserved contrition (and by contrition, I mean a clear apology that acknowledges that the very concept of installing such an intrusive and obnoxious program on their customers' computers is wrong), or is sacked. Buying or recommending anything from Lenovo under the current circumstances is unacceptable.
