The above instructions were incomplete for istalling on a UX380N. I did some extra steps to get it to work. Go into InstallExecueSequence and InstallUUISequence and “drop rows” for any sequences 50, 51 or 52. These all do some kind of checks. Save, and then the Origami install should work.

Not sure if this will help anyone here but I’ve tried to document all the drivers I’ve needed to get my Windows 7 (Build 7201) fully working (from a clean install) lots of formatting and re-installing but finally I think I have it down to a working pattern (for the people that like to keep testing release builds of windows 7)

have been surprised by the extremely small number of compromises that I’ve had to make after installing Windows 7. One of the more painful for myself however is the problem with support for my laptop’s internal WWAN card which is based on the Qualcomm Gobi chipset. It looks like this chipset is used on some HP laptops as well as my Lenovo Thinkpad (W500) and my Boss’ X301 for both Verizon and/or AT&T. This chipset is new from Qualcomm and is supposedly a global radio supporting any provider on both CDMA and GSM by using a dynamic firmware capability.
During the time of the Windows 7 beta and now the recent RC1 there have been some rumblings from people that need this support to be able to use Windows 7 full-time. Reading through the posts and trying to get this to work I’ve found there to be two blocking issues getting this card to work, the first is getting the drivers to install on Windows 7, and the second is getting the dynamic firmware to load onto the card.

Talking about Scott Hanselman’s Computer Zen – Example: How to contribute a patch to an Open Source Project like DasBlog
Lots of discussion going on around the death of NDoc and Open Source as a viable option for .NET projects. A lot of this harkens back to some of the things discussed in “Is Open Source a Crap Idea” from a a few months back.
I said Open Source is free like a Puppy. It requires care, feeding, and in the words of Pete Seale, if you beat it it will run away.
Phil says Open Source is free like a Flower. “I think of Open Source software as being like a nice set of flowers in a common space such as a courtyard. Nobody that lives around the common space owns the flowers, yet they all enjoy the presence of the flowers.”
Jeff says Open Source is free as in Free. “The highest compliment you can pay any piece of open source software is to simply use it, because it’s worth using.”
From my point of view, just USING Open Source software doesn’t fix bugs. Volunteers fix bugs, whether they are a member of the project or not. (Assuming you haven’t got an Open Source Sugar Daddy or a company that supports your work.)
