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.
