IBM-Lenovo Thinkpad Transfer complete

Well, it seems the venerable Thinkpad, that workhorse of many a corporate soldier, has finished moving over to its new home at Lenovo. The website, although still accessible through www.thinkpad.com, just redirects you to the Lenovo site. One quick comment: The thinkpad.com site is probably the blandest, most boring, and lame site for a gazillion-dollar company I have ever seen. Yes, the sole purpose of its existence is to redirect you, but at least they could have taken out the color palette for a spin because black and white just doesn't cut it anymore.

What does everyone think about the Lenovo deal? I know I'm a bit late to comment on the merger, but the dust has settled now and I think it's as good a time as any to think about the future of the Thinkpad machine. Will it change? Will it get worse? Better? More colorful? Discuss.
