    Has anyone got this running yet (with all functionality)? I am running RC2 5744 and it works great - I just do not have any functionality of the media buttons, wireless switches etc.

    Has anyone gotten these things running on a TX850? Thanks

    For the media buttons you can probably get it working by installing Sony's shared lib and sony utilities available for XP. However, I don't think brightness and fingerprint (protector suite) are working yet. Your best bet is wait for Sony to release all the updates of its drivers/utilities.

    Aero runs great - no issues what at all. All I really want to work is the eject button for the CD drive - the small button is painfully small -I wish there were a software option.
