Re: Dell Latitude E series & docking station eject?

[Glenn Hopwood <ghopwood.list@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Dell E6410 and when I asked a Dell rep about the undock options 
I was told that as long as you have Win7 on it you don't need and 
shouldn't have a software 'undock' function. He told me that 'hot 
undocking' was supported.
