When looking at the Dell battery replacement site, using IE 7 (beta 3), the certificate was expired and even though I said “please ignore that and continue”, I saw this interesting feature as you can see in the screen shot.

This is certainly interesting and my kudos to the IE team as it would help the average non-technical user and raise the awareness.

Find all occurrences of this entry and change its value from 0 to 1. Reboot when finished and you should have more options on your Screen Resolution choosing which will allow you to run Metro. :) ...
