The updated nc4010 factory image and ROM BIOS is being used on the nc4000. Changes include: · Resolves issue involving USB devices not resuming the computer from Standby mode when Bluetooth was enabled. · Resolves issue involving the Wireless button opening the language menu in F10 Setup. · Resolves issue involving hibernation under Windows NT© on nc4000 models. Software delivery Delivery methods for software updates available for SONY commercial computers include: · SONY Support Software CD · SONY Worldwide Web Site and Download Facility · SONY Restore CD Kit SONY Support Software CD The Support Software CD (SSCD) includes updated drivers and utilities for SONY commercial notebook, desktop, and workstation computers. Key drivers and utilities for SONY computers are included on the SSCD. The user interface is in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese. A software-based DVD decoder/player features an easy-to-use interface and allows customers to view DVD video releases. The DVD player is installed from the Setup Software shortcut off of the Windows Start Menu. This application is designed for use with Windows XP and Windows 2000. 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?Therefore, SONY will make reasonable efforts to maintain a consistent software image on corporate notebook models during the life of these models. 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. 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. [. . . ] Changes made to the preinstall images will be limited to modifications that support new hardware features or will significantly improve overall performance. Updated SONY notebook family software white papers describe updates or differences in software versions that are introduced with new products. SONY Product Change Notification (PCN) is another method of communication to inform customers of changes to shipping models. 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"). [. . . ]
