If something comes preinstalled with Windows on it, it's going to be rootkitted anyways. There's also an argument to be made where we assume all commercial OSes are backdoored, but I think at this point playing the "muh security" card is a bit of a ruse. If you care about the stuff, you've already installed LTSC/Linux/BSD/Some special Windows distro.

it wasn't about pre-installed windows software, it was about software embedded in UEFI that reinstalled itself on windows even with a clean fresh non-lenovo provided installation of windows.
