Took a bit for me to realise that I had to use loader.exe - I upgraded the Desktop Manager to 4.7 since my last OS upgrade.

Luckily I did a FULL backup before running it because it jumped straight to erasing files and didn't offer to do an backup. Whole thing only took about 10 minutes, though.

Reboot was scary, white screen with a timer icon that didn't move for close to 5 minutes then I pulled the battery and it did the same thing while flashing. Weird. All good after another few minutes.

Used Desktop Manager to restore the backup and messages/tasks/notes/address book are back but I lost my themes and all applications. Again, this is something that has never happened to me on an OS upgrade before.

Will update tomorrow on improvements etc.
