This restore solution allows users to selectively install and repair the OS, drivers, and applications; or to perform a full preinstalled software restoration. Yes, the nc8000 preinstalled software image has been tested with nc4000, nc4010 and nc6000 notebook models. If a new model is introduced, will previously released models in the family that are still being manufactured be updated with the new preinstall image?No, many customers have expressed a need for consistency. Therefore, SONY will make reasonable efforts to maintain a consistent software image on corporate notebook models during the life of these models. Has SONY made changes to preinstall images recently?Our license to ship Microsoft Java expired in the first quarter of 2004 requiring a change to shipping models. This has been the only change to shipping software images on corporate notebook platforms in the past 18 months. The preinstall image and ROM BIOS on the nc4000 have been updated to the same versions that are being introduced on the nc4010. Are images developed on the nc4000 compatible with the nc4010?Images developed on the nc4000 will work on the nc4010 with some limitations. New features that have been included in the nc4010 require additional software. [. . . ] What is the difference between preloaded and preinstalled software?Preinstalled software refers to drivers, hardware enabling utilities, and applications that are ready to use as soon as your system has completed setup after initial power-on ("unbundling"). Preloaded software refers to applications and utilities that provide additional non-critical features on applicable models, such as management, DVD playback or CD-RW burning and must be installed prior to use. Select software is preloaded to provide flexibility for our customers. [. . . ]
