It's that kind of silly omission from the build that puts me off tablets.
Just one tip re Windows 7 Starter: you can't change the desktop wallpaper without downloading a little widget. Drove me nuts til I worked it out. Let me know if you need pointing in the right direction.
I shall be in touch. I've no idea how much of a compromise Starter is.
