Dell Studio One 19 Owners Thread

I recently purchased a Studio One 19 Touchscreen with the Mother's Day Anniversary sale, and I haven't seen a single forum thread dedicated to it.  So here goes a start!

I chose my Studio One 19 over the Apple iMac and the Sony All In One because I wanted a touch screen.

I chose my Studio One 19 over the HP Touchsmart for its performance and price (desktop MB and CPU and its price fully loaded the price was still cheaper than a low end HP Touchsmart!).  The multitouch support was also a nice advantage over HP.

Has anyone received delivery yet?  Any reviews from real world users?

2) Random year change to future date e.g. 2075. SOLUTION: Update to BIOS A09 or later.

WINDOWS 7

How I installed a fresh Windows 7 x64 on my Dell Studio One 19

Install Dell A07 BIOS
Clean install Windows 7 Ultimate
Install Dell Nvidia driver (also updates SATA driver), then install OEM Nvidia driver
Install Dell Realtek Audio + dvd eject driver. DO NOT install Dell Touchscreen driver as it does not work with MS Touch Pack
Update Windows
Install Dell Fingertapps Touch Zone.
Install Dell Cozi YouPaint, Dell TouchCam, TouchCam Update

Install MS Touch Pack. Find here - http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/showthread.php?p=179262
    Install MS XNA 3.0
    Install MS Bing Virtual Maps 3D
    Install MS Touch Pack
    Install Next Window Touch Screen Driver 1.3.2.5. Find here - http://www.nextwindow.com/nextwindow_support/download_confirm.html
    Optional - Uninstall MS XNA 3.0, Install MS XNA 3.1
    Optional - Update Nvidia PhysX

All Dell Touch Zone applications and Microsoft Touch Pack applications work.

FYI there are three different touch screen drivers for the Dell 1909
-Windows 7 default
-Dell signed NextWindow
-NextWindow

The Windows 7 default driver and Dell signed NextWindow driver allow you to use all the Dell Touch Zone applications,
    but does not work with the MS Touch Pack applications.
The NextWindow driver 1.3.2.5 allows you to use all of the applications in MS Touch Pack and Dell Touch Zone.
