content: I bought a new Win8 Lenovo laptop a couple of months ago - the first machine I hadn't hand-built and installed a BSD or Linux OS since 2004. Within days it turned out Lenovo had filled it full of crapware and spyware, so I got rid of that. I installed Antivirus and configured the firewall, used it responsibly installing software from trusted sources and still got infected with cryptolocker. The trackpad kept freezing and games wouldn't centre properly on the screen in fullscreen due to bad drivers. I still have a Win8 partition but only for Steam games. Any serious work is done on my Linux partition.
