I did the 'SZ' thing briefly, but couldn't deal with the inferior display (blah colors, dark edges, dirty whites), horrible and cheap feeling (loud, clicky) keyboard and the somewhat flimsy (upper) build quality (IMO).

I've had a couple of 700m's, and neither of them had 'great' displays. They were both average at best. One was an AUO and the other was a Samsung (which was worse) and they both looks washed out at default settings and both lacked...

So what if someone doesn't want or need MediaDirect on their computer, but doesn't want a 'dead' button after doing a clean install of XP Pro? Is there a way to assign that MediaDirect button to launch a different app? Like say iTunes...
