I think it's pretty cool to see vendors including FreeDOS as a
pre-installed operating system option. Unfortunately, I think many
vendors (and users, probably) view FreeDOS as the equivalent of "naked
PC", with the intention of installing something else after purchase.

I knew that Dell and HP had FreeDOS as operating system options, but I
didn't realize Lenovo did this as well. Interesting. Thanks for
sharing!
