The new key layout is evil.

For crying out loud, with what kind of accuracy do they think I can place my right pinky, with the view obstructed by my palm? It was bad enough when they put Backward and Forward in the "vacant" space around Up, so that I keep switching pages in my browser when I try to scroll up. But making the right Ctrl and Alt keys narrower than a finger and penalizing any miss with a focus-grabbing Context popup? That's insane.

Oh, yes, I'm sure the Pointy Haired purchasers will love it ("ooh, more keys!"). Those Lenovo engineers, they seem to have lost all dignity when they switched employers.

Holy cow, I totally agree. I never understand decisions like this, for all you have to do is ask some people that *actually use the laptop* every day and they will tell you why this is bad / good. I just placed a micro-rant about the addition of the Windows keys too. Looks like I'll stay with my good old T43p for a while!
