Visited a friend, and helped him install a new build in his XO. The
first time the new build completed booting, he was presented with an
action bar (to request "software update") near the top of Home View.
It so happened that the XO had not automatically connected to my
friend's wireless AP - but he did not realize this. Being
well-meaning, he clicked the rightmost button ('Check now') in the
action bar -- there was some software processing and then a "Could
not access the network" message -- he needed to exit through Control
Panel to get back to Home View (and never saw the action bar again).
The "software update" facility assumes that a connection to the
network is already available when it gets to run. If conditions are
such that the network connection has *not* been set up when booting
completes, should the action bar to request "software update" still
be automatically presented as the first thing the user sees ?
