    This must be for their internal info updates :D Anyway, some of them if you read through and imagine what issues you had with your command center, explain that those fixes have been 'repaired'. Because sometimes the 'front' lights if they are switched off they do flash when you wake up the computer.

    I wish they could change the interface a bit to 'match' windows 8, more simple looking design (just a simple / single preference).

    According to that the main changes are:

    Added support for the m11x R1, R2, m17x R3, m18x R1 and m14x R1.
    Added dependency on .net framework 3.5 (the program will not install unless you have it installed or enabled)
    Better compatibility with the nVidia Optimus Technology in AlienFusion.

    New Firmware released
    Fixed a glitch with the keyboard lights when resuming from sleep or hibernation,
    Fixed a glitch with the alienhead light not changing when in "Standby"
    Assigned a function that was not assigned on the KB.

    "Assigned a function that was not assigned on the KB." I think you are talking about FN+F2 :)

    There you go Porras!

    How hard was that to do really?

    Most people don't want to decipher the meaning of suspend states S1-S2-S3...S(nine hundred and ninety nine) and the like to determine if a driver/application/BIOS_update is a benefit to their system. Simple stuff like that continually annoys customers.

    Make meaningful descriptions that the average customer can understand. Anything less is just being cheap, lazy, or indifferent to the customer's needs.

    NO, I'm not going to submit some...........whatever.

    But for you Luis, now there's some good low-lying fruit for you to present to your boss.
