Those from the past didn't fall under a Linux certification program though. That seems to be a main point of the rant:

> And you take risks too. When you sell “certified” ThinkPads with Linux, do you understand you are actually certifying that this machine will run correctly with drivers written by people who had to guess how the hardware should be used because vendors like you didn’t properly document it in the first place? Isn’t this mind-boggling?



Are the ones that come out of the factory with Windows pre-installed also certified? I'm unclear on that aspect.


I'm not sure, it seems like only a certain series is certified and some on that series do come with Windows.
