Do you use TrackPoint? If you do, these drivers are inevitable. Considering how fragile and inconsistent across models and versions they are I'd say good luck.

Nice coinage: "TPCRAP.EXE"

I did install device software that came via Windows Update (mostly unobtrusive stuff), and you're right, I did install the "UltraNav"-branded Synaptics drivers manually from lenovo.com. They are abysmal [1], but still less so than the Synaptics driver that came via WU.
