It wasn't just preinstalling malware. It was also installing malware stored in the firmware into fresh Windows installs.

Yeah, i remember it being pretty bad and fighting with my boss at the time because they were all in with lenovo. Even after I showed them the articles about the malware they wanted us to push out lenovo's bloat on all machines (like the stupid battery monitor) because they liked how it looked better. I got a new job shortly after.
