    I purchased my T400 through Lenovo's "Ultimate savings for students and faculty" program. This entitled me to a pretty awesome machine with Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Ultimate, and great performance.

    I noticed that bundled in the factory image came Roxio Creator Business Edition. Is there any way of retaining/re-downloading that program after making a clean install of Windows 7? Does Lenovo provide it on its website?

    Thanks! Is this program categorized under the T400 specific version on the website? Is it under downloads and drivers? I can't seem to find it manually. I actually don't have it in my apps folder. Are there any other programs I might have forgotten to mention that usually come bundled?
    Edit #2: I saw that a bunch of systems have a list of preloaded software, but not the T400. Is there any way of finding it?

    W7 has all those tools embedded. Just bloatware would forget about it.
