z60t user reporting here. Love its lightweight, for a price slightly higher than the r52 which is awfully heavy.

Nowadays the newer thinkpads (z series, t60, x60 onwards)from Lenovo has given us back the Windows key

Thinkpads have sooo much crap preloaded with them... What I did was create a D: partition, copy everything from the folders IBMTOOLS and DRIVERS to D drive, reformat and reinstall windows XP, install the IBM Software installer, point to the stuff in the D drive and choose only the things that I want (Power manager, Access connections, Ultra Nav, and Active Protection System)

Its supposed to be discontinued soon, to be replaced by the ThinkVantage System Update, but I prefer the Software Installer.

Yeah, I think it works for all models of Thinkpads. Its a small software that allows you to install the default software/drivers that are meant for the Thinkpad, and also check for updates to the installed software/drivers.

It will check both your local hard disks for installation files, and also from the Internet. Quite a handy tool for any Thinkpad owner.
