These Panasonic Aero - designed systems are frankly crap. The underpinnings are Windoze-style computers, running an open source version of Linux. This is easily seen when (not if) the system crashes during your flight, and goes thru the eight minute "reboot" cycle.
In my experience with both these "new" systems in the upgraded UA 747's, as well as the similar system in the Airbox 380's, Panasonic has erred in designing these systems.
Someone should get Steve Jobs to design a system for IFE. It would work, would be logically designed, upgradeable, and user friendly.
