Lenovo: Win7 and the U.S do not interest us any more... What does it actually mean?

Lenovo has anounced it has no plans to market the company's Android based tablet or Smartphone in the U.S in the near future, and that it has no plans to manufacture a windows 7 based tablet even in china.

I believe this is the first real indication I've ran across that -

  1. Some serious companies no longer consider the U.S a critical market
  2. Android is a real threat to Windows in the personal computing space.

Lenovo's director of new technology, Howard Locker, was quoted: :
"Windows 7 is based on the same paradigm as 1985 -- it's really an interface that's optimized for a mouse and keyboard,"
