So, I’m configurating and installing my brand new Lenovo X61 tablet pc. Since it’s a shiny new thing that came right out of the box and plastic wrappings, I have to start from scratch installing it. So I thought I’d document all the things I’m selecting so I have that list for myself and colleagues. By the way, colleagues, I’ve got all the install files saved to my Mesh so if you need a quick setup without too much hassle, ping me. And no, unfortunately that does not work for anyone outside of Microsoft. :) I love my job too much to do that.

First things first: I’ve changed my region settings so the PC thinks I’m in the US of A.
Very good for Beta testing and dogfooding.
