I shall not upgrade mine, as everything works perfectly. No need to fix something that isn't broken.

This also fixes the "feature" that caused there to be a 1-2 second delay between pressing the power button and it actually turning on. It now comes on instantly.

As a word of caution to anyone doing this update, Dell recommends doing a hard reset prior to the update, and I've read reports of problems if one was not performed.

it took about 45 minutes for me to backup my data. I have too many programs installed.

Try power saving mode. Sure your speed is 1MBps, but you really need that much to chat? :D

Now all they need to do is have MS get rid of that POS Pocket Explorer and put a real browser in.
