There’re 2 special keys on P15, one is InstantOn, the other (Tail Button) is to tile windows vertically. Of course it cannot work under Windows XP… (somebody said InstantOn works well on XP, I cannot make it)

Originally, Vertical Tile can be found on the Windows Start Menu by pressing Right Mouse Button -> Vertical Tile. If you insist to do this by some other programs, there’re 2 similar solutions for windows arrangement.

1. AcerGrid: Acer made for its notebook for free, and no limitation to use in other brand. Since it’s really old, official download webpages are all dead…
2. WindowSpace: it’s not free, but you can control by shortcut keys.

Now, all of my VAIO P15 functions are working well under Windoz XP becides InstantOn (somebody said there’re G-sensors in P15?). However, for a 26sec bootup limitation OS and a less than 40sec bootup full function Windoz XP, what will you like? (For me, I’ll try to install Linux by myself)

$ony VAIO P15 有兩個特殊鍵, 一是 InstantOn, 另一個是並排視窗用的. 這兩個鍵在 Windows XP 底下是不會 work 的. (有人在 XP 底下成功起動 InstantOn, 那個人不是我 orz)

並排視窗功能, 其實是 Windows XP 內建的功能, 只要在開始功能表上頭按滑鼠右鍵, 選『垂直並排』就可以用了. 可是如果能有更快速的做法, 當然更好不過. 其實有兩個還不錯的軟體可以幫上忙.

1. AcerGrid: 原本是 Acer 出給他自己的 NB 用的, 不過在別家的機器上也能 work, 原廠 url 都斷了, 所以請 google 一下碰碰運氣吧…
2. WindowSpace: 這個是要 $ 的, 但是可以用快速鍵直接控制. (反正調螢幕亮度已經不能用 Fn keys 了, 那就將就一點吧)

所以, 現在我的 $ony VAIO P15, 除了 InstantOn 之外的所有功能, 都等於已經解除封印了 (聽說還有 G sensor 回頭再來試試). 倒是 InstantOn, 老實說, 一個開機要 26sec, 功能有限的 OS, 和一個開機不到 40sec 的全功能 OS, 你會選哪個? (倒是我還是會想辦法把 Linux 裝起來就是…)
