1. The only difference between European and USA models is model name.
VGN-Z series use only two different version of BIOS, the old one (Z1x, 
Z2x, 5xx) and new (Z3x, Z4x, Z5x, 6xx...8xx). European Z4x is USA 7xx,
but you can download BIOS update from support page for any model from 
6xx to 8xx.

2. Dude of course all this things is unofficial, if you are so scared - 
use original pre-installed Windows only ;P
