    I recently bought a CF-U1 (Win7 model) and is there a reason why it states specifically in the manual not to enable Aero?

    Also I noticed in the BIOS, it states for the TPM security option that once enabled, it cannot ever be disabled. A quick google search tells me it's already been cracked/hacked/defeated/whathaveyou, so is it worth bothering with? Would it effect the resale value of the unit since it can't be disabled once enabled? I've already set the Supervisor/User passwords no problem.

    Thanks for any info!

    Probably just to save system resources.


    Yes I have heard of it being hacked before. Even the TPM they put in the XBOX 360 has been hacked, BUT very, very few people can do it.
