I had no problems removing it after hacking the registry. My main issue is their annoying pop-up that seems to worm itself around my pop-up blocker and other utilities I use. Once I find the answer I will post it here.

I deleted everything in the /usr/bin/eclipse except for the jar file, copied the new stuff in, and it works! if someone can explain how to remove an older version of eclipse in the repository, that would probably help the new people. they could then install a new version i noticed that there was a ’startup.jar’ file in my eclipse folder in /usr/bin/eclipse, but NOT one in the unzipped eclipse 3.4 folder.

I returned it after 15 hours. I tryed to buy another, and then another. They were all the same. Barnd new and broken. I got my mony back and i'm now trying to decide for something else :( I'm so sorry it had this problem as it was really sexy and shiny.

I though tend to use the latest Bios revision simply for the sake of it. Well, as much as I love the M1330 I have to agree, there are some issues that will prevent me from getting another one of this series. Right now battery life is down to 45 minutes max and it heats up fairly quickly and therefore gets noisy. Afraid it will bust at some stage, do doing my backups now regularly... ;) Hi Drix5, the A15 Bios did not solve the charging issue.

However, i got a question, what is BIOS A15, and will it resolve the problem?

Thanks a lot for the overheating hint, I'm a bit concerned as my machine does use the fan a lot lately. And besides that battery (even though I regularly discharged) is not running for longer than 40 minutes anymore. Nice machine it was but no wonder DELL does not offer extended warranties due to all the flaws. Hi Hector, sorry to hear that your XPS has that many flaws in a row.
