Hi Richard,

A cautionary tale..................I purchased a set of Lenovo Windows 7 for
a Thinkpad T61 from these folks and all was fine for about 6 months at which
point Windows suddenly began to fail the 'Windows Genuine Advantage" test.

An email to Microsoft provoked a reply which said that Microsoft had
recently learned that the product activation key was no longer "genuine"

Emails to thinkpadrecoverycds.com were not answered.

Did you get a new product key together with the recovery CD? With the method described in my previous post, I only got the media (downloaded from Digital River, which is an official reseller of Microsoft). The product key I used was the original OEM one that came with my X301. Therefore I think I shouldn't fail the WGA test.

Cheers, Dominique
