"The court also noted that this case is an example of the arrogance and prevarication of a giant company against a modest consumer. In the end, the court ruled that the sum was to be paid to Luca, by way of compensating for the damage caused by aggravated procedural liability."
That sounds dangerously like common sense. I'm not familiar with Italian law but that judgment looks pretty decent and runs along fairness style grounds and it would have been made after consideration. If IT law is precedent based that may be quite a powerful result.

In RHE/CentOS it was possible to store all settings made during installation and reuse the file for future automated installations. (I think it was called kickstart file).

The precedent here is making it not economical for Lenovo to engage in a lengthy litigation process. Such tactics are generally employed against consumers, to dissuade them from suing. It's nice to see it backfiring, and indicative of a healthy court system, IMO.
