Ownership

As of February 29, 2008, 44.4% of Lenovo is owned by public shareholders, 41.8% by Legend Holdings Limited, 6.7% by IBM, 6.5% by Texas Pacific Group, General Atlantic LLC and Newbridge Capital LLC and 0.6 by the directors. Because the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a Chinese government agency, owns 65% of Legend Holdings, effectively the Chinese government owns about 27.17% of Lenovo and is the largest shareholder.

Aaah, thanks man, now I'm more informed - I guess up till now I always thought they're entirely privately owned. I only read their own website, never any Wikipedia articles or other external sources about them. Oh well, one learns something new every day

So i bought the Eee PC 1000 with the 40GB ssd. I'm a sucker because it was significantly more than the other options (aside from lenovo), but it suits my needs well.

Next step is to install xp from a flash drive or lan... which is proving to be more dificult than i thought it would be.
