Lenovo mans up and does the right thing

One of the things I’ve always loved about my ThinkPad and Lenovo notebooks is the System Update feature. I’d just run it and get all the latest updates from lenovo. They also notified users of critical updates via the Message Center facility. Very nice, until Lenovo terminated System Update. Around the beginning of March, SU started reporting that updates were no longer available and a new, better, service would replace it beginning in May. Well, that didn’t happen. May 1st came and went and the only solution offered by Lenovo was to check the support website for updates. I was not a happy camper along with lots of other angry Lenovo owners.
Yesterday, Message Center popped up with a notice that several updates were available. I was thrilled! I didn’t have time then to run the updates, but let it run tonite and everything updated just fine. A quick Google search revealed that Lenovo has reinstated System Update. A very smart move on their part, in my opinion. I don’t know if Lenovo users can run their current version of System Update to get the new install or what. Might be worth a try.
