ButterflyEffect and rob05c, might interest you :)

Here's another source on this story.

It's pretty disappointing but I honestly cannot say it's unexpected, it's simply the next step in the path computing has been taking for the last half a decade. Lenovo crap all over the once awesome Thinkpad range and earlier this year were caught tampering with the root certificates to inject ads. Disgusting. But expect more.

Yeah… I upgraded all my personal machines from Windows years ago, so it doesn't affect me. :)
