Quote from Bayani69 : Bagira, How'de you get dual boot with win8 on this?? You mentioned installing app. Did you install the win8 first? thanks

Yep, delete the largest drive during Windows 8 install, on Win 8 install VRswitcher from the Viewsonic site, reboot and you are golden.

In fact you can switch to Android straight from Win8 running VRswitcher from Win 8 and selecting "Switch to Android".

Quote from muntu : i just got one. phew.

I'm glad you got it. So I don't feel guilty.

does the wifi work on windows 7? couldnt you just force windows 8 to run the windows 7 driver?

lol....I hope it ships.

Talked to customer service today to see why my order from a few days ago is still "pending" and they said they're still working on orders from LAST weekend. He couldn't give any estimate of when they'd catch up with fulfillment.

Yes.
No.

You can install the driver, but Wifi doesn't work anyway.

how can i make touch keyboard bigger? currently it is very tiny.

my friend just got his delivered, obviously a refurb model, scratches all over it, said there were finger prints on the screen, and no CD or instructions, just the tablet and charger in the box

Did anyone try Windows 7 Ultimate without SP1 and get the wireless to work?

Quote from IntoBeing : Umm wow mine just turned off out of nowhere while I was using it and now it won't turn back on. Looks like its fried and I just got it in the mail today!

my tablet turned off to, did you get it to turn back on

Quote from MohammedQ : my tablet turned off to, did you get it to turn back on

I pressed the reset button for awhile with a pencil and I was able to get it to come back on.

thanks it worked, i got scared for a second

I received mine yesterday. Out of the box it would not turn on. I was able to push the little reset button on the bottom and that fixed that problem. The Andriod version is horrible. Everything just forced closed. I then spent hours trying to get WIFI working in Windows 7 Home Premium. I even reinstalled Windows 7 and it would work for a few minutes and then never work again. It just kept crashing Windows. I then downloaded a new version of the WIFI driver and it worked for a few minutes and then again same result. Interesting enough the WIFI did work in Andriod. I followed the exact instructions that Viewsonic supplied. Installed everything in the exact order that they requested. Also, the fan made a loud humming noise. The tablet runs loud. It sounds like a laptop. The screen quality looks nice. The Windows 7 ran really fast. Very responsive. The idea I think is great but the reality is that mine did not work. I sent it back today. I hope others have a better experience.

That sounds pretty close to what I'm going through now. Can you please tell me whether your copy of Windows had SP1 installed or not?
