Will be poking at this machine more today -

I do not have a copy of any proprietary operating system to compare with
on this machine.

You could use the search features of this forum:

to look for windows problem reports/discussions.

That forum was active since the machine was announced and included
members from Everex. If there where windows problems, they are
in there somewhere.
