    To those who care - I just noticed that with VMWARE 6.X workstation installed the Media Direct Button will not work on my M1330.

    I was able to verify and test this today. Since I need VMWARE workstation more than having to access Media Direct by pushing the button I'm keeping VMWARE installed. I can always access media direct through the programs menus. :D

    What happens when you push the Media Direct button when the computer is off? Does it boot the Media Direct partition or does it leave a mess?
