So I’m playing around with the random ThinkVantage software that came on this X60, and I find an option to “Rejuvenate My System”. Intrigued I click on it, and am greeted with the following message:

This option optmizes performance by defragmenting your hard drive and restoring your system and application files from a “known good” backup of your choice. This helps eliminate, viruses, adware, and spyware. _*Important:*_ Applications installed or changed after the selected backup was created might need to be installed again to function correctly.

Awesome. So to get a faster system, just throw away all the crap that you just did to mess it up. Gee thanks. I think I’ll pass.
