We have a few as glorified word processors, but I wouldn't buy one if you want to use it as a "proper" computer. It runs Windows CE so won't run ITunes, it won't play flash within websites but does have some kind of standalone flash player. It does have a preinstalled MSN client. The most annoying thing about it is that the "My Documents" folder isn't stored in flash so gets wiped everytime the machine is switched off. It's fixable with a registry change though, or just being careful where you save things.

We'd definitely be interested to try out any newer builds. We're currently using the one available at Moodle.org: Modules and plugins Ours is running on FreeBSD so I could perhaps document the process if you think there would be any interest?

Test went well and I've now deployed it to ~400 machines without incident. Of course your mileage may vary, but it works for me.

No problem. I'm deploying it to a few computers this afternoon to test it and will post back with results.

Thanks for this fantastic piece of software, it's just what we've been after. I've knocked up a basic MakeMSI script so that it can be easily packaged into an MSI. I've not done much in the way of testing on it so use it at your own risk. You'll need MAKEMSI - Make MSI based installation files. Can automatically build new or update existing MSI files or other Windows Installer databases file types. Has guid generator plus many other tools. installed on the machine you use to build the MSI. Download my files at File crunch :: Download File :: AUPInformant MSI script Extract my zip. Extract the package zip from Paul Beesley AUP Informant into the package folder inside the folder you unzipped my stuff to. Once MakeMSI is installed and you've configured AUPInformant by using AUPInformant.exe.config in the normal way, right click on AUPInformant.mm and click "Build MSI - Development" and after a bit of processing you'll end with an MSI in out\AUPInformant.mm\MSI Matt
