I appreciate the thorough feedback! I am waiting for my new ThinkPad to ship in and am just working out the details of setting it up.

I see you made the 3 Recovery Discs as well as a System Repair Disc. Did you notice any differences between the Windows 7 Clean Install and the Factory Restore? Which do you prefer? +1 Rep for you!

Anybody have tips for dual booting with Linux? I read that ThinkPads have some difficulty in this area as their Master Boot Records (MBR) do not like being touched.
