Not true. There has been an awful problem with LM Sensors (temperature
and voltage sensors for Linux) on Thinkpads. Some Thinkpads could be
simply broken by scanning the I2C bus [1]. The LM Sensors asked IBM for
help about this issue an. The whole thing must have started 2 or 3 years
ago, they are still waiting for a real support.
Now, I agree that IBM makes a lot for Linux, but this story made me a
bit angry against them, I admit it.
