Nothing really wrong with the interface and it seems that Microsoft took the complaints (or at least that Hi I’m A Mac commercial) of those annoying and prolific “Are You Sure You Want To Do That?” dialog boxes seriously, but I think I have a video driver issue. Try any full screen video and it locks up, not just Ctl+Alt+Del locked up either, but hold down the power button for 5 seconds to shut it off locked up. The Netflix streaming movie viewer didn’t even have to get to full screen, just a mere attempt to load and it was reboot city.
I thought an updated video driver might help, but Dell only offers a video driver in the XP flavor for my laptop (it’s what came preloaded from the factory.)
I wonder what I have to do to undo the installation without having to reload XP all over again. Maybe I can just format the partition and edit the boot loader file? Off to Google to see…

Hopefully it’s just beta bugs…
I’m betting video driver still and who knows if I’ll ever get one unless support is built into the shipping edition of the software…
