    I got my 1520 about 2 weeks ago and never registered Windows online. I was wondering, should I register Windows online? Will I still get the automatic updates even if I don't register it online?



    Also, when I try to register it, I get a webpage with a message saying...

    "Your request cannot be completed at this time

    The browser version you're currently running does not support the Windows Vista product registration process.

    For help, access our online support center or re-launch the product registration link using Internet Explorer 7 as your browser."


    And I was using IE.

    The registration is entirely optional. You'll still be able to recieve updates (as long as your Windows is genuine).
