If you ask any purveyor of crapware what they peddle, you'd never get them to admit to it being crapwware. Take YC for instance, with their InstallMonetizer investment that PG tried to defend as not-crapware[1]. This is a way for Lenovo to commit to something without committing to anything. They'll be right back to installing gigabytes of crapware on their laptop lines just as soon as they have some marketing people type up reasons why it's an enhancement.
Exactly. While this Lenovo statement is still a good thing, and IMO shows that they are at least trying to address a real problem, you have to note that they haven't specifically mentioned any software that they are going to remove.
In other words, they probably think that all the software they preload is useful.
