just got the $40 dollar special up and running
hi from northern Alberta, Canada, just installed the $40 dollar special, a very un-eventful event, this thing has all the drivers, device manager didn't have any notices what so ever, by the way, i don't know what all the fuss is about, by there not being any start button down in the left corner, I haven't had any problems accessing anything, don't have a touch screen, don't expect to ever get one, but i do think it might be an ok OS.
