Feedback on 759 joyride

[Pia Waugh]

H all,

I spent a few hours testing and have the following feedback that I thought
would be useful. I really loved the image, the control panel and some of the
other changes (like how Browse can now support a pop-up and the improved
ease of copying of stuff to the USB key!), so awesome job everyone!

 - Suspend - it didn't appear to actually suspend, and ended up overheating
   in my bag :)
 - when connected to a network the circle isn't white, and as such not obvious
   that you are connected.
 - pippy apps (snow, pong) are taking a _long_ time to load
 - Slideshow app in pippy doesn't work at all
 - needs the journal on the application circle view somehow so that when an
   app is open you can still easily find it (without having to open the
   frame)
 - mandarin doesn't work in speak or anything for that matter :)
 - x20 - close and "keep" icons missing
 - can't run actual swf files in browser, can only run embedded flash
 - write app breaks content formatted when reopening saved stuff with defaults
 - all other apps appeared to work fine, but haven't been able to test
   collaboration as I need to get another developer key or two.
 - Froze a few times, mainly when running Firefox (not Browse, I was testing
   some content stuff).

Also, as VideoChat is part of what we wanted to demo for this trial, I am
paying someone to work on it over the weekend and hopefully get it up and
going. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I have a trial of about 60 laptops that I have to set up on the 22nd
September, and I'm _really_ keen to use this image. Would it be at all
possible to get a signed image by then for normal XOs even though the actual
stable one won't be out for weeks later? I had originally planned my
timeline on the original launch date of the 17th September :/

Cheers,
Pia
