Of the two XO-1s (both with the ALPS touchpad) I have around here I chose
the one where the touchpad issues have been particularly annoying. In fact
it was so bad that even after 5min of failed attempts I couldn't manage to
even draw a single half-decent spiral in Paint on 802.

802B1 hasn't really helped there as very often the cursor now freezes
completely and even after waiting for 20 seconds or doing a manual
re-calibration I can't get it move more than a couple of centimeters. If I
understood the issues correctly 802B1 now simply disregards suspicious
looking data coming from the touchpad and it seems like that touchpad is
particularly affected so basically now data makes it through at all.

I've had issues on 802 connecting to my WPA home-network every now and then
and 802B1 seems a little more reliable there (but that's more of a gut
feeling).

Yes, shutdown is definitely quite a bit faster compared to 802!

Works as advertised.

Yep, the dialog was gone, updating a bunch of activities worked just fine.

With the pre-installed Record-59 I ran into lockup issues similar to what
Gary has reported, the latest record (64 I believe) works fine.

Measure-27 doesn't seem to do anything, I can't get it to display any input
and after some random button clicks it tends to freeze so badly that only a
Sugar restart helps.

Cheers,
Christoph
