Looks like the change will be permanent:

"For our PC customers, automatic updates via ThinkVantage System Update (TVSU) 
are being discontinued. Customers can continue to download updates by accessing 
the Lenovo support site at Lenovo Support & downloads. Lenovo is pursuing 
alternative solutions for system updates and future offerings will be 
communicated through the new Lenovo Message Center Plus."

The change greatly upsets me because using the TVSU has been recommended in 
preventing BSOD when updating two Thinkpads via Windows/Microsoft Update (an 
X40 and a G40).   

I was planning to reinstall Windows on the X40 and G40 with their respective 
R&R CDs.   Without TVSU, what's the best way to update Windows without 
encountering the BSOD?
