There was something else I don't remember though that I didn't like about hacking around with Windows. I think it had to do with the different libraries.

I remember the time when there were all these windows themes going around. I think I tried using one to change the startup/shutdown screen
which ended up screwing windows pretty hard.

but I mean, I don't see why anyone would want to mess with that stuff now anyway.

" Editting the boot up screens and the themes (without installing any other software to do so for you which then means more patching of files)."

thing about this point is, its not really necessary to mess with the windows themes. but it is necessary to follow endless steps on the n810 to get most of the programs you want working.

there is a way to change the boot up screen w/ the n810 as well. and change the themes. but that really has nothing to do with improving the performance of the tablet, or even getting things to actually work/install.

its the difference between "hacking around" out of necessity or "hacking around" for fun/cosmetic reasons
