Bluetooth support? That's not strictly MS's fault - their stack ALWAYS sucked, compared to Broadcom's. The x50v used the Broadcom stack, which has always had more features than Microsoft's, but was harder to program for. Dell, for some reason, decided to go with the MS BT stack when they did the WM5 upgrade, whereas HP and Acer, among others, stuck with the Broadcom stack... and worse yet, Dell didn't customize the BT stack at all to add any extra functionality.

We know it's possible, as other manufacturers have added extra functions to the MS BT stack, but Dell has yet to do so. Supposedly, there's a rumor that says they're going to fix this.... but of course, you'd also have thought that they'd have at least let you use the BIS as storage memory and let you take advantage of that 'persistent memory' feature of WM5, right? :D
