An information handling system having multiple browser applications includes a browser management utility for selecting one of the browsers as a default browser. The browser management utility provides a central access point for accessing the multiple browsers. The browser management utility enables a user to port settings from one browser application to another browser application. The browser management utility also includes a configurable option which provides the guidance novice users while enabling more experienced users more control over the selection of browser and which information is ported from one browser to another. Additionally, such a system provides a user with a single location to store and manage common browser application settings such as bookmarks, passwords, and cookies.

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for automatically provisioning a virtual image on a target system. A service operating system comprising a virtual machine monitor and a personalization agent is installed on a target system. A set of digital assets entitlement data is provided along with an associated set of digital assets data contained in a virtual software image, which is then installed on the target system by the personalization agent.
摘要:
A method and system which enable preconfiguration of an information handling system to function as a media hub. In certain embodiments, during the preconfiguration a customer can select media services such as television services (e.g., Cable TV or Dish Network Service provider) and an information handling system manufacturer can then preconfigure the information handling system during a factory install process for the selected television provider. Additionally, the preconfiguration process can load media guides onto the preconfigured information handing systems during the factory install process. Additionally, in certain embodiments, if a remote control for a receiver is found, then the remote control settings can be preinstalled onto the information handling system. When a user receives the preconfigured information handling system, all that is necessary to setup the system is to couple an IR emitter to the receiver.
摘要:
A system for facilitating sale of a virtualized information handling system. The virtualized information handling system may be a consumer electronics type information handling system or a small business type information handling system. In operation the system offers a virtualization enabled information handling system at a point of sale. The offer can include an offer for an integrated (i.e., built-in) Productivity virtual machine as well as an integrated web browser. During the sale of the information handling system, the customer is provided with an opportunity to purchase additional virtual machines as part of an up-sell offer. If the customer opts not to purchase additional virtual machines, the customer can decide to purchase one or more of the proffered additional virtual machines at a later point. Each purchased virtual machine is uniquely linked to the customer.
