Some people are saying that Lenovo's UEFI only allows an re-install from the Lenovo-provided Windows disks, otherwise it will show the Windows piracy warnings after a few weeks. However, I suspect that falls in the category of First World problems atm.

That .. seems highly unlikely?

How should the UEFI cause the piracy warning to be displayed? Much more likely: Those people got their 'other' installation medium from ~somewhere~ and the activation failed.

Booh for Lenovo's actions and a crappy recovery medium, but I highly doubt that _this_ is actually more than FUD.
