Not all the ThinkVantage software is bad. The System Update software was great when I needed to update hardware drivers, none of this looking up exactly what I have and then logging into the manufacturer's website to download every driver update one by one. The problem is TVSU now doesn't just give you driver updates, it prompts you to install a bunch of stupid malware Lenovo is pushing so that you think if you use anything but their 300% marked up genuine lenovo batteries your computer will explode.

I love how people who would normally hate government regulation of the Internet are stepping and screaming for it over net neutrality.
